Afore we get into the details let’s just know what HDHMR is! HDHMR abbreviates for High Density High Moisture Resistance. The HDHMR boards are manufactured using wood fiber, the wood is obtained from plantation agro wood. This is what makes the HDHMR board an eco-friendly product. In the process of production these fiber chips are pressed to a limit where they result in the formation of a mono layer. This process of making the board using the agro wood is an efficient way in manufacturing an eco- friendly product.
Keeping the climatic conditions of India in view, a special kind of glue is used during the pressing which can withstand the extreme humid and moist weather conditions of India. This makes the HDHMR board a durable product which can be used in extreme environmental condition. Plywood have high VOC due to usage of hazardous chemicals thus posing risk of several health hazards viz. eye etching, sore throat, breathing problems etc. Mostly in plywood boards core & face veneer are obtained from the peel off of tree trunks, posing a big threat to our forest. Illegal harvesting of wood is responsible for global warming, melting of glaciers, soil erosion, erratic changes in climatic condition, depletion of ozone layer in the atmosphere etc. thus effecting the flora and fauna of the earth. Whereas the HDHMR board is different than other boards and is also unique as the material used in it are from 100% agro wood. This exclusion of the hardwood peeled trunks as in plywood and block boards makes the HDHMR board an eco-friendly product.
The HDHMR board has calibrated smooth surface having high surface density which makes it highly suitable for paint and polish, pasting of mica, veneer, membrane etc. During the gluing of the mono layers formed a very strong multidimensional bond is established between the particles and the layers making the HDHMR board much more robust and durable in a longer time phase. This decreases the need of regular replacement of the board and hence yields to sustainability, also making it an eco- friendly product. The qualities which are offered by the HDHMR board are far ahead in league from all the similar products. Also, it finds usage in multiple places i.e. in lamination flooring, industry packing furniture, home cupboards, kitchen shutters. The cost of HDHMR is almost half as compared to plywood.
Hence, the HDHMR board is an eco-friendly product and is the best and wisest choice compared to all the other products available in the market.
