Kirei board is a new environmentally friendly building material composed of 100% recycled agricultural fiber. Strong and lightweight, Kirei board has nearly unlimited uses in contemporary design.
Manufactured from recycled sorghum stalks and the formaldehyde-free KR Bond adhesive, Kirei board helps to reduce landfill waste and eliminate harmful Volatile Organic Compounds in the ambient airspace.
Sorghum, the principal component of Kirei board, is a drought-tolerant food grain requiring little fertilizer or pesticides to grow. Now, through a revolutionary process, these previously discarded stalks provide the foundation for a strong, delicately grained, lightweight building material.
Ideal uses for Kirei board include: interior architectural surfacing, cabinetry, furniture, paneling, display fixturing, interior wall coverings, office dividers, home decoration, and finished products & accessories.
