One Material Endless Possibilities
An Innovation that promises to change the spaces around us
RelWood™ is made using the complex PTF technology which for the first time builds a homogenous bonding between the natural fibre and the polymer. This creates a material with the natural look and feel of wood and at the same time is resistant to water, sun, wind and cold that does not splinter- even after many years.
Its unique surface treatment gives it the natural warm feeling of wood on which any kind of surface finishing is possible. It can be used in a variety of applications from outdoor decking and cladding to indoor flooring and paneling to even furniture.
We are a part of Reliance Petrochemicals family. In our constant endeavor to develop products that provide world-class experiences to our customers across a range of applications, we have developed RelWood™ a product never been seen in India. Our vision is for a greener, healthier India. This 100% wood free, VOC emission free, truly sustainable material made with patented technology, is a small step towards fulfilling this vision.
