With close to 1.6 million fire accidents and more than 27,000 lives lost due to such accidents every year, the fear of fire is evident amongst everyone in the nation. Even though people often take precautions at their end, accidents still take place and often cause huge amounts of loss to both man and material. However, thanks to technology we now have materials that are fire-retardant that can play an important part in Fire Accident Prevention.
One such viable and versatile material is plywood, known for its meticulous nature, it is the most preferred option when it comes to interiors.
CenturyPly,
one of the most trusted names in India for plywood has a select range of fire-retardant plywood. Termed
‘Firewall Technology’ has nano-engineered particles that are embedded in the polymer matrix of plywood,
giving it the best in class fire-fighting properties.
Some of the key features of fire retardant plywood by CenturyPly are as follows:
In
the event of a fire, the amount of smoke generated can be a significant hazard. A huge amount of toxic fumes
are
generated which can lead to be fatal because of suffocation. However, with the Firewall Technology, the
smoke
emission rate is remarkably lower as compared to ordinary plywood, therefore allowing one enough time to
extinguish the source of the fire. CenturyPly's Firewall technology focuses on minimizing smoke emission,
providing occupants with clearer visibility and better escape routes during an emergency.
The
plywood is crafted to withstand high temperatures, delaying its combustion and adding crucial moments to
evacuation efforts. This resistance to elevated temperatures is a crucial factor in preventing the rapid
escalation of fire incidents. A 19mm thick plywood enriched with Firewall technology halts the fire for
about 50
minutes before it penetrates through. When tested this plywood had a flame penetration rate that was greater
than 3 times the thickness of plywood in minutes, thereby allowing you to exit the premises safely.

CenturyPly's
Firewall technology adheres to stringent fire safety standards and regulations. This commitment to
compliance
ensures that the plywood meets or exceeds industry benchmarks for fire resistance, providing users with a
reliable and effective preventive solution.
CenturyPly's
Firewall technology ensures that the plywood retains its structural integrity even under fire exposure. This
is
crucial for preventing the collapse of structures during a fire, providing additional time for evacuation
and
firefighting efforts.
Not
only from fire these fire-retardant plywood are also borer and termite-proof. With the use of the special
Glue Line Protection, they not only resist these pests but also aid in completely destroying them. Hence,
leaving you stress-free about the cleanliness of your interiors.
Firewall
technology has been tested for a wide variety of critical parameters like smoke-developed index,
flammability, and so on. These plywood
perform far superior as compared to other similar plywood available in the market under standard test
conditions to the benchmark specified by Indian Standards IS 5509, American standards ASTM E84 as well as
British standards BS 476.
By integrating CenturyPly's Firewall technology into construction and interior design, individuals and businesses can significantly enhance their fire safety measures, creating spaces that prioritize occupant well-being and protection.
Consider
investing in fire-retardant plywood for all your furniture needs and take this important step towards
fire
accident prevention.
