Bamboo products are manufactured in China, where it grows in endless bamboo forests. MOSO’s principles: sustainable, high quality and innovative productsīy offering innovative bamboo products of the highest quality, tested following the most stringent European norms, MOSO International became the leading brand in the relatively young bamboo industry. The type and quantity of glue is the key to maintain a sustainable product after processing the fast growing bamboo raw material. Due to differences in production steps, this cannot always be claimed for standard Strand Woven Bamboo. The sustainability advantages of the rapidly renewable giant bamboo material are convincing: Official independent LCA studies (according to ISO 14040/44) conducted by Delft University of Technology have confirmed that solid MOSO ® bamboo products are CO2 neutral or better over their full lifecycle. Producing environmental friendly bamboo scrimber optimizing and controlling the balance of moisture content in each production step.controlling the best compression and heating process steps,.selecting the right type and quantity of glue,.determining the optimal thickness of the bamboo strips,.ensuring total deskinning of the strips,.using the ideal segments of the bamboo stem,.The improvement of stability with MOSO ® High Density ® is the result of continuous efforts to optimize the raw material selection and processing methods and techniques. From bamboo stem to high quality products However, you will hardly see the difference between a high quality and inferior product when you have a sample in your hands: the stability will only prove itself over time, when weather and climate circumstances change. With MOSO ® High Density ®, the stability of the compressed bamboo has been improved - with up to 10 times less shrinking and swelling. In general, the standard Strand Woven Bamboo has a low stability, resulting in high shrink and swell levels. Bamboo, like wood, is a natural material that will shrink and swell with changes in humidity. Stability defines the quality of compressed bambooįor almost all bamboo applications, the stability is a crucial material attribute. However, standard Strand Woven Bamboo has serious weaknesses: poor and fluctuating stability and environmental issues. When hitting or dropping a hard and heavy object onto the material, there is hardly any indentation. Compared to traditional laminated bamboo, and almost all wood, its hardness (Brinell ≥ 9,5 kg/mm²) is unique. Strand Woven Bamboo became popular worldwide in the beginning of this century, thanks to its clear benefits: an increased hardness and a special appearance. MOSO ® High Density ® bamboo has many benefits MOSO ® High Density ® innovation is not a revolution, but an evolution in product quality. The fundamental improvements are a result of continuous upgrading of manufacturing processes. However, MOSO ® High Density ® outperforms the standard Strand Woven Bamboo on the market on many quality aspects. Compressed bamboo is generally known as Strand Woven Bamboo or scrimber: bundles of crushed bamboo strips are compressed into panels or blocks that form the base material for all kinds of bamboo products: for example flooring, beams, panels. The material is harder, stronger and more durable than almost any wood. One of the key innovations in MOSO’s 20 year history in the bamboo industry is High Density ®.
