Action TESA, one of India’s largest manufacturers of engineered panel products, including MDF, HDHMR, Boilo, and Particle Boards, has redefined the wood panel industry with two of its groundbreaking innovations – HDHMR (High-Density High-Moisture-Resistant) boards and Boilo (Boiling Waterproof) boards. These products address the challenges of traditional wood materials and offer advanced durability, moisture resistance, and sustainability for residential, commercial, and outdoor applications.
“Before Action TESA introduced HDHMR and Boilo, this category lacked a versatile, high-performance choice. A decade ago, particle board and MDF did not offer the durability and moisture resistance consumers desired, leaving a gap in the market for advanced engineered boards. With growing demand for durable, moisture-resistant, and eco-conscious materials, the market awaited a breakthrough. Action TESA responded by developing HDHMR boards, featuring a eucalyptus hardwood core. Eucalyptus, recognized for its density and strength, gives HDHMR boards exceptional screw-holding capacity and structural stability. With a density of 850+ kg/m³, these boards deliver impressive performance, making them particularly well-suited for high-moisture areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, and wardrobes, as well as for outdoor applications,” said the company release.
Following the success of HDHMR, Action TESA launched Boilo boards with a density above 1000 kg/m3 to meet the needs of spaces exposed to extreme environmental conditions. Built on a fire-retardant HDF platform, Boilo offers boiling waterproof properties, making it perfect for high-traffic interiors, bathroom vanities, and outdoor spaces. The introduction of these products reflects Action TESA’s commitment to delivering sustainable, innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of architects, builders, and homeowners.
“We recognized the limitations of traditional materials and created HDHMR and Boilo to provide sustainable, high-performance solutions. Our products are a reflection of our dedication to innovation and sustainability, and we are proud of their impact on the industry,” said Ajay Aggarwal, Managing Director, Action TESA. He further added, “At Action TESA, we take great pride in never compromising on materials or processes. With HDHMR and BOILO, we set a new benchmark in engineered wood, offering products that meet the demands of modern construction while ensuring safety and longevity.”
The choice of eucalyptus hardwood was a significant step toward forest conservation, as Action TESA’s HDHMR and Boilo boards use eucalyptus, a rapidly renewable agro-crop, as a sustainable alternative that can reduce or even eliminate the need for solid wood. Eucalyptus grows quickly and is cultivated in managed plantations, making it an eco-friendly choice that supports responsible forestry practices.
