Paper honeycombs have been traditionally used in India for several years in construction of doors. There are several manufacturers who use paper honeycombs to produce hollow core flush doors. With the advent of the IT industry and the special requirement of office systems, there are many manufacturers who have now resorted to honeycomb panels for partition walls and so on. The first throughfeed honeycomb machine from Torwegge which was displayed in Indiawood 2006 has already come into manufacture and several more lines are in the offing. In the near future, keeping abreast of what is happening in the world, India will have its own sandwich panel materials available in reasonable quantities. In keeping with the development, organizations like Honicell, world leaders in the manufacture of paper honeycombs, have also established offices and warehouses in India. World leaders in fittings such as Haefele and Hettich already have largescale operations in India and have today made available special fittings for sandwich panels. In short, therefore, one can say that India has already begun to participate in the revolution that is sandwich panels. There have been many developments in the light weight panel manufacture in India that have been lying low. As far back as 1994, jute stick particle boards with density ranging between 350 to 400 kg per cbm were commercially produced under the aegis of the government of India’s efforts to promote non conventional uses of jute. Today these light panels are still produced in several small scale industries for use as false ceiling. Central Institute for Research on Cotton Technology is in the process of establishing a pilot plant to produce particle boards from cotton stalk. The boards will have density much lower than the conventional particle board and would form an ideal core material for various light weight applications. Boards from straw, coconut husk and such other materials have also been produced in several Regional Research Laboratories.
