~15% less MDI. Higher profit.
Stronger boards.

Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) resin is too expensive to leave to guesswork. SmartMDI transforms MDI into a water-based suspension in real time improving distribution, reducing usage, and delivering stronger, more consistent board performance.

You’re overusing resin
to manage risk.

MDI delivers strong performance—but without precise control, it’s overapplied to compensate for variability in raw materials and process conditions.

That adds unnecessary costs into every board you produce.

Turn MDI application into a controlled system.

MDI delivers strong performance, but without precise control, it’s overapplied to compensate
for variability in raw materials and process conditions.

That adds unnecessary costs into every board you produce. SmartMDI integrates directly into your
existing production line and gives you precise control resulting in:
More uniform coverage
Better resin usage
Less variability across shifts

That means less resin required to achieve the same—or better—results.

Case Study

15% less MDI. $1.2M+ saved.

A leading North American panel manufacturer faced rising MDI costs and inconsistent resin distribution across the wood substrate.

To maintain board quality, the mill compensated by overapplying MDI, driving up costs and reducing efficiency.

What SmartMDI unlocked

SmartPress brought real-time intelligence and control to their production:
15% reduction in MDI costs
Improved overall panel properties
Reduced resin aerosol loss
More uniform distribution of resin on wood fiber

The manufacturer realized over $1.2M in annual savings, with a projected $3M in additional chemical cost savings following a full Smartech deployment.

 

You’re paying a premium for MDI. Stop overusing it.

Resin is one of your biggest cost drivers. It shouldn’t be one of your biggest inefficiencies. Connect with our team to learn more about SmartMDI.
