Plain HMR Board

Plain HMR Board

Plain HMR Board – Exterior Grade

Exterior grade is recommended for exterior application where the panel is exposed to moisture and high humidity. It has high water resistant properties. On Customer’s specifications, the boards can be treated to make them fungus & termite resistant.


Applications:

Homogeneous structure and uniform properties ensure equal strength in all directions Dimensional stability in variable atmospheric conditions Absence of knots or grains


Has high screw retention strength on face and edges Does not splinter or flake Can be moulded, profiled, routed, carved and grooved like “Natural Wood” .It can also be laminated,veneered, —-lacquered, painted, printed or coated with PVC.


Applications:

Furniture,Partition,Flooring & Ceiling,Wall paneling,Kitchen cabinets and shutters.
