Resin Technology - No Added Formaldehyde

Coho Bord is manufactured by using thermosetting PMDI throughout to provide enhanced strength, dimensional stability, durability and moisture resistance. This specialist resin formulation provides a supreme bond with the wood strands as it has a reaction with the wood itself, when put under intense heat, creating a chemical weld.
