Duro Titanium plus is derived from individually selected gurjan timber that satisfies Wonder Log Criterion - a well researched set of guidelines devised by Duroply's R&D to search for the mother of all logs, the Wonder Log. Armed with the criterion, Quality Officers tour the length and breadth of the universe to acquire timbers that are known for their natural hardness and termite proof attributes.
Duro Titanium Plus product is subject to a unique THT process where the product passes through 3 different stages of heat & chemical treatment. This optimum treatment of veneer through THT process increases the inherent strength of the product manifold. DURO Titanium PLus therefore has such qualities that make it stand the test of time.
Gapless plywood & blockboard after being THT treated are put through the revolutionary new age PFS True Glue Bonding procedure. In this procedure each layer of the plywood is penetrated with our " in-house" specially manufactured PFS glue under heat and pressure. As a result, bonding between wood veneers is significantly enhanced thereby multiplying the strength of Duro Titanium Plus multifold.
Duro Titanium Plus product is made to undergo a unique production technique that ensures each product is gapless. 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.
Every Duro Titanium Plus blockboard is subjected to a never before tried Temo Treatment that makes it truly resistant to termite attacks. This extra-ordinary mechanism encompasses wide ranging procedures.
