Melamine Coated MDF?
 
The other day I acquired[1] a piece of thin material - 150mm wide,
approx. 6 feet long and around 3mm thick. On one side (and to some
extent on uncut edges) it has a good quality finish, possibly melamine.
The interior has a whitish cast compared with ordinary MDF.

Can anyone tell me what it is called and/or where to find it for sale?

I have found that the white faced thin sheets in the sheds tend to be
based of "fluffy" hardboard on which a clean cut is difficult to
achieve. This cuts very sweetly.

[1] Acquired - sometimes equals found in a skip near a small building
site as someone was walking by.

A piece of kitchen unit plinth?

Have looked around - virtually all the plinth material I have seen is
around 15mm thick. So - is the unusual plinth? Or something else?
