About this material

plant stalks panel

Kirei Board is an engineered panel product constructed from the stalks of the Sorghum plant grown around the world for food. The stalks left over after harvest are heat-pressed with a non-toxic adhesive to form lightweight, strong, unique Kirei Board.

Kirei Board is used for all interior architectural millwork applications, including:
wall covering, ceilings, cabinetry, cabinet doors, furniture, retail displays, flooring, hotel/restaurant/casino

Kirei Manufacturing
Kirei board is manufactured using KR Bond, a water-based polymer-isocyanate adhesive. Formaldehyde-free KR Bond does not contribute harmful Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) to the indoor atmosphere.
Kirei Board is manufactured from Sorghum grown in Northern China. The factory is placed in the center of the agricultural area where the Sorghum used in its construction is grown. This reduces shipping time and energy, and brings a new source of revenue for the farmers of the region. The factory uses low-energy processes with minimal wastewater and air emissions.
