Saburi Neowud
Saburi Neowud
Saburi Neowud (NRFC) is a breakthrough Natural Reinforced Fibre Composite engineered as the future of sustainable building materials. Made from rice husk and advanced binding technology, this zero-wood panel offers an environmentally responsible alternative with a significantly lower carbon footprint. It is 100% termite-proof, waterproof, and fire-retardant, achieving a UL94 V0 rating where flames self-extinguish within seconds. Designed for durability and design flexibility, Neowud is ideal for both interior and exterior applications. Its smooth, uniform surface supports laminates, veneers, and paint finishes, while offering strong screw holding and long-term dimensional stability without warping, rotting, or fungal decay.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about Saburi Neowud
Saburi Neowud is an NRFC (Natural Reinforced Fibre Composite) panel made from rice husk with zero formaldehyde, UL94 V0 fire rating (highest class), 100% waterproof and termite-proof performance, a lifetime warranty, and heat-formability for curved applications.
Saburi Neowud is India's first premium rice husk-based NRFC panel — manufactured from agricultural waste rather than timber, eliminating both forest dependency and formaldehyde emissions simultaneously. UL94 V0 fire rating (self-extinguishes within 10 seconds of flame removal, no flaming drips) is the highest flammability class available — exceeding IS:5509 FR plywood requirements for many applications. Zero formaldehyde and low VOC emissions support LEED IEQ Credit 4.4 documentation. 100% waterproof, termite-proof, excellent screw-holding, and dimensional stability. With controlled heat application, Neowud can be formed into curves, wrapped edges, and seamless profiles for contemporary furniture design. Available 6mm to 25mm. Lifetime warranty.
Saburi Neowud NRFC carries a lifetime warranty — the longest warranty in Saburi Ply's board product range. This reflects the material's inherent durability: zero organic content to support biological attack, 100% waterproof polymer bonding, and UL94 V0 fire-resistant construction.
Saburi Neowud's lifetime warranty reflects the fundamental material advantage of NRFC construction: because the rice husk substrate contains no cellulose-based organic food source for wood-degrading fungi and bacteria, and the polymer binding is fully waterproof, the material's durability is theoretically unlimited in standard interior applications. The UL94 V0 fire rating provides an additional assurance layer that the material will not propagate fire within the panel. Zero formaldehyde emission means the panel will not deteriorate indoor air quality over its lifetime. Available 6mm to 25mm for a wide range of interior applications. The lifetime warranty on Neowud is supported by the same Saburi Ply warranty claims process as all other products — through the nearest authorised dealer with proof of purchase documentation.
