In the wake of fire incidents in residential buildings and workplaces, plywood major is equipping its products with firewall technology based on nano particles.
Keshav Bhajanka, executive director of the company, told TOI: “Our indigenously developed firewall technology has the potential to save lives and minimise damage of furniture by containing the spread of fire and toxic gas. We are not taking any additional cost for this technology. However, there is a substantial raw material cost that has been incurred in implementing the technology across all our products.”
The company has not joined hands with any entity for the introduction of the technology. Bhajanka sounded confident that the present scenario in plywood business is positive and the recovery of demand in the post-lockdown phase has been far faster than what was anticipated. “We are extremely bullish on plywood and other building materials. We have some big plans for the eastern India and a couple of projects is being considered for Bengal. Now, all future plans are under discussion,” he said.
Currently, the company’s several new business plans are in the pipeline for Bengal and some projects are still under discussion.
