Know about Firewall Technology

Firewall technology is one of the features CenturyPly has incorporated in its plywood products. The purpose is to provide a safe and secure environment for their customers. Firewall technology is nano-engineered particles embedded in the matrix of the plywood they manufacture. The technology is not just on the surface but is used cross-sectionally, making all layers resist the penetration of fire. 

Benefits of Firewall Technology

Let us explore how firewall technology plays a crucial role in our protection. 

  1. Low Flammability  

Flammability refers to the time duration a plywood takes to catch fire. We all know that plywood is made of wood and thus is prone to catch fire in just a few minutes. Wood is fuel to the fire, making it tough to save your product. However, plywood with firewall technology is tested to retard the same. It has been tested and proven that it takes 35 minutes to catch fire on the plywood surface. Is it not enough to vacate the place, stop the fire, and even call a fire extinguisher when needed? 

  1. Slow Penetration of Fire

Once the plywood catches fire, it gets penetrated within the layers, making it impossible to stop burning. Regular plywood tends to burn quickly. CenturyPly’s plywood is the opposite. The layers of the plywood are incorporated with firewall technology, making it retardant to fire for several minutes to flee and the extinguishing squad to arrive. 

Can we Trust Firewall Technology?

CenturyPly is all about winning the trust of its customers. Thus, they provide transparency in all the unique features and technologies they have incorporated into their products. The same is true with their firewall technology. Did you know many companies claim for features but do not have certifications to back their claims? CenturyPly opposes this behaviour and has achieved approval certifications for its technology from top research institutions and laboratories. The firewall technology was tested and verified from the following:

  1. IPIRTI

  2. National Test House Report

  3. Spectro Analytical Labs Limited

Firewall technology has proven its claim of its capability to retard fire to a great extent. The certification aids in analysing the strength of the technology. The users have reviewed their satisfaction in investing products with firewall technology and how its effective safety measures are protecting them and their families. The most intriguing part of this feature is that CenturyPly does not charge extra money for the technology.
