Selolit Lif Levha San. Tic. A.Ş.
Selolit, founded in 1956, makes wet-process hardboard (Duralite) in Manisa OSB — fully natural boards without synthetic glue.
About
Wet process hardboard technology which is the main scope of business of Selolit, could only develop enough to enable serial production in 1950’s, although it was invented in 19th century. Selolit was established in 1956 in İzmir to produce wet process hardboard made of wood (Duralite) and started production in 1958. The company utilized wood remains that could only be used as fuel in Turkey as industrial raw material for furniture manufacturers.
The wet process hardboards that Selolit produces do not contain substances hazardous to human health. The natural resin of wood (lignin), obtained by high pressure steam, is used to solidify the board. The produced hardboards are completely natural. No synthetic resin (glue) is used throughout production.
