ADVANTAGES over wood
- Kenaf material has been successfully used in place of wood powder to make Dayham panels profiles and product.
- Kenaf application is an alternative for wood-based application. Since it is a short term fibre crop, no forest will be cut for use as timber, thus preventing the degradation of natural resources.
- Dayham panels are superior to Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) in that the former has a long fiber compared to WPC, giving better strength and rigidity to the products.
- Can be worked like wood using current tools and fastening techniques.
- Resists insects, providing inherently longer life than wood.
