MICROSTRAND™ wheat
Made from lightweight, high-strength agricultural fiber, Environ Biocomposites Mfg, LLC
introduces MICROSTRAND™ Wheat Panel Products -
Consistently superior quality and performance with a better delivered value than
traditional wood products.
superior performance...
superior surface...
Harder, smoother and more impact resistant than wood-based particleboard, MICROSTRAND™ Wheat offers the perfect substrate for laminating, painting and staining.
consistent quality - better delivered value...
Environ Biocomposites Manufacturing, LLC (EBM) has a state of the art manufacturing facility. Throughout the production process quality is monitored using sophisticated computer technology resulting superior quality and value.
innovative design...
EBM's three distinct layers using two resin systems, commonly used in the engineered wood products industry, are combined using state of the art equipment. And, MICROSTRAND™ Wheat can be custom engineered to meet your specific requirements.
commitment to the environment...
MICROSTRAND™ Wheat uses only rapidly renewable agricultural fiber from Mid-western farms, helping to protect America's forest lands. By utilizing our urethane based resin system in all of our products, no urea- formaldehyde is added during the manufacturing process, thus emitting no VOC's into the atmosphere. Each of these environmental attributes contributes to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED™ ) credits. For more information on LEED™ see our LEED™ literature or visit www.usgbc.org.
and commitment to your industry...
