Gurjan core and panels lend natural strength to plywood. Imported from South-East Asian countries, Gurjan is a fully mature, high density hardwood, which makes it naturally strong & resistant to all kinds of organisms. These veneers when compressed under exterme pressure yield a panel density of above 800kg/m3 greatly superseding standard IS requirements and making it highly densified & homogenous. IT is Inherently Borer and termite resistant, displays anti warp features and has extreme hardness and strength..
