Titanium - Sarda Plywood

Plywood

- With Advantage Five

Inspired by Titanium's rare properties of strength and flexibility, the House of Sarda presents Duro Titanium. Over 50 years of acquired experience in the industry enables Sarda to deliver a one of its kind of plywood & blockboard that comes with - A unique Titanium Edge 5, that makes every other ply and blockboard of the world - ordinary.

Advantage One: Super Log Criterion (Read more...)

: Close

Duro Titanium is derived from individually selected hardwood timber that satisfies Super Log Criterion - a well researched set of guidelines devised by Sarda's R&D to search for the mother of all logs, the Super Log. Armed with the Criterion, Quality Officers tour the length and breadth of the country (even abroad) to acquire timbers that are known for their natural hardness and termite proof attributes.

Like the saying goes - "Only the strong can be harnessed to be the strongest."

Advantage Two: THT(Triple Heat Treatment) (Read more...)

: Close

Each Titanium Super Log comes under a unique THT process, under which they are passed through three different stages of heat and chemical treatment. This optimum treatment of moisture through THT process increases the inherent strength of the Super Logs by manifold.

Duro Titanium is therefore imbibed with qualities that help make it stand the test of time.

Advantage Three: Gapless Construction (Read more...)

: Close

Each Super Log selected through SuperLog Criterion is made to undergo a never before Gapless Treatment, a procedure that turns Super Logs into a single piece gapless block of plywood and blockboard. The result:

Extra strength to give long lasting life

Infection free to ward off termites

Able to withstand more weight

All in all, a Plywood and Blockboard that is as solid as Titanium

Advantage Four: PFS TrueGlue Bonding (Read more...)

: Close

The durability and toughness of plywood & blockboard depends on the bonding achieved between the veneer layers. Gapless plywood & blockboard after being THT treated are put through a new age PFS TrueGlue Bonding procedure. An exclusive process that brings together the veneer layers using an expensive class of boiling water resistant Phenol Formaldehyde Synthetic Adhesive that additionally makes the veneer layers boiling water resistant from the very core. Clusters of similarly bonded plywood & blockboard are thereafter made to undergo -

Pre-pressing (to enable uniform glue penetration and diffuse moisture content)

Hot-pressing (to obtain warp-proof and dimensionally stable plywood & blockboard)

Together they help in the formation of strong, solid, zero-gap plywood & blockboard that is bonded for life.

Advantage Five: Termo Treatment (Read more...)

: Close

Every Duro Titanium plywood and blockboard so obtained comes under a never before Termo Treatment that is both anti-termite and high-temperature proof in nature. This extra-ordinary mechanism encompasses wide ranging procedures that begins
with -

Each Super Log being soaked in a multi-layer penetrative anti-termite solution.

Each Gapless Block is individually dipped in specific termite repellant chemicals for an optimum period to make them comprehensively anti-termite.

PFS TrueGlue bonded Duro Titanium plywood and blockboard is additionally treated with CCB preservative solution to make them doubly resistant to termites.

Owing to specific treatments and its inherent characteristic, while BWR category plywood certified under IS 303 can withstand boiling water for not more than 8 hours, Duro Titanium conforms to IS 710 standard that can withstand high temperatures and maintain its character even in boiling water for a staggering 72 hours.
