Durawood Solutions for Protection and Material Flow<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Durawood is an extruded, double-foamed board and square log shaped product. The main raw material (ingredient) is polyethylene (PE). <\/strong>Is 100 % recyclable<\/strong> and replaces wood, cellular plastic or rubber in applications where parts need to be protected, kitting optimised and the durability of line-side containers and pallets improved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durawood plates for parts protection<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>
\n

The Durawood plates<\/strong> are used as support and protection surface<\/strong> Behind the scenes, containers and component transport trolleys. Its foamed structure absorbs impacts without chipping or marking the part, and can be custom-machined with specific drills, recesses or housings.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Durawood ESD<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>
\n

Durawood ESD<\/strong> is the conductive version of Durawood synthetic timber, designed for applications where it is necessary to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD)<\/strong>, such as electronic components, automotive electronic modules, or sensitive equipment. It allows the manufacture of ESD line inserts, separators, trays and pallets<\/strong> which combine mechanical protection of the part with static electricity control in the flow of materials.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Durawood inserts, dividers and dunnage<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>
\n

From the Durawood sheet, it is possible to design Inserts, dividers, supports and dunnage<\/strong> that fit precisely with the geometry of each reference. This minimises knocks and scrapes during internal transport, speeds up picking, and improves ergonomics during loading and unloading operations.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Competitive advantages of Durawood compared to other materials<\/h2><\/header>\n\n\n\n
\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Lightweight, durable and splinter-free material<\/h3><\/div>
\n

Durawood<\/strong> It is a foamed plastic sheet with high resistance to impact and crushing. It does not splinter or create sharp edges like wood, and maintains its integrity even with intensive use in line containers and pallets.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Wide temperature range and resistance to water and oils<\/h3><\/div>
\n

The material reliably works over a wide range of temperatures and presents Low water absorption<\/strong>, as well as resistance to oils and many common industrial chemicals. It is ideal for the automotive sector, logistics, cold stores and food warehouses.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Easy to machine, repair and adapt<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>
\n

Durawood can be cut, drilled, milled, and screwed with standard tools, making it easy to create cavities, housings, and specific shapes<\/strong> for each part. This makes it possible to adapt the design to new models without having to change the entire container.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Damage reduction for parts and maintenance costs<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>
\n

When offering a surface damp and edgeless<\/strong>, Durawood notably reduces knocks, scratches and rework on sensitive parts. At the same time, its durability means that kitting trolleys, boxes and pallets require fewer repairs and replacements than those made from wood or honeycomb plastic.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

100% recyclable and available with recycled content<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>
\n

Durawood is 100 % recyclable<\/strong> AIWA is developing formulations incorporating recycled material sourced from container wraps, contributing to reducing the environmental impact of packaging and kitting projects.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Protection against electrostatic charges<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>
\n

For applications with electronic components or EPA zones, Durawood is available in version Durawood ESD<\/strong>, which helps to control static electricity in material flow without compromising mechanical protection.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n

FAQ \u2013 Frequently Asked Questions about Durawood<\/h2><\/header>\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n

What is AIWA's Durawood?<\/h3>\n
\n\n

Durawood is a synthetic wood<\/strong> manufactured by AIWA<\/strong> From extruded foam polyethylene. It is supplied in lightweight yet very strong sheets and blocks, designed for protecting parts, lining containers, and manufacturing kitting elements and line pallets in industrial environments.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What are the advantages of Durawood compared to wood or cellular plastic?<\/h3>\n
\n\n

Unlike wood, Durawood does not splinter or absorb moisture<\/strong>, and maintains its properties for longer. Compared to cellular plastic, it offers Greater resistance to impact and compression<\/strong>, as well as a more stable surface for machining specific housings and supports. All of this reduces damage to parts and maintenance costs for containers and pallets.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In what applications is Durawood used?<\/h3>\n
\n\n

Durawood is used as Protective and supportive material<\/strong> in returnable containers, racks, kitting trolleys, line pallets and special boxes for automotive, logistics, the food industry, warehouses and cold stores. It is also used as Wall cladding and impact zones<\/strong> to prevent knocks and scratches during installation.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Can Durawood be machined to fit specific parts?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n\n

Yes. Durawood is a very ductile material that can Cut, drill, mill and screw<\/strong> with standard tools. This allows for the creation of custom inserts, dividers, housings and profiles following the contour of each piece, which improves hold and minimises jolts during internal transport.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Is Durawood water, oil, and extreme temperature resistant?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n\n

Durawood has a very low water absorption<\/strong> and it is resistant to oils, greases and many common chemicals found on site. Furthermore, it maintains its performance over a wide temperature range, making it suitable for Cold rooms, food warehouses, and demanding industrial environments<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Is Durawood recyclable and sustainable?<\/h3>\n
\n\n

Yes. Durawood is a material 100 % recyclable<\/strong> AIWA is developing versions that incorporate recycled material from wrappings and other industrial plastic waste. This allows for the design of returnable kitting and packaging projects with a lower environmental impact.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
