Apart from water, one of the oldest foes of architecture is fire. While we hardly hear news about infernos wiping out entire cities these days, local fires still pose a devastating threat to structures. Making wise decisions while building your home by choosing fire-resistant raw materials can protect your home from such situations. CenturyPly Firewall Technology is one such material that acts as a barrier between the flames and your home until help arrives. This blog introduces you to this innovative technology and other ways of safeguarding your home against accidental fires.
Firewall Technology infused ply from the House of CenturyPly is a specially designed fire-resistant plywood that you can install in your home to safeguard your home and loved ones in the event of a fire. Having low inflammability and delayed flame penetration time, plywood with Firewall Technology delays the spread of fire, thus, providing you with that extra golden time to call for help or escape the building in case of a fire emergency.
It can be used for any building, be it residential, commercial, or industrial. It can also be used for both indoor and outdoor structures such as ship containers, kitchens, auditoriums, etc.
The CenturyPly Firewall Technology Plywood has many features that makes it the ideal fire-retardant plywood. Some of those are given below:
A regular plywood catches and spreads fire easily in the unfortunate event of a fire, acting as a stimulant for ignition. This leads to emission of toxic smoke that can result in suffocation, destruction of property, and hampers the working of the rescue force. CenturyPly Plywood with Firewall Technology is made of specially prepared nano-engineered particles that prevent it from combusting immediately and help it resist flame penetration, thus delaying the spread of fire in an area.
Testing the plywood under standard conditions revealed that it takes around 35 minutes for the flames to spread along its surface, which is much lower than the time taken by the flames to spread across regular plywood. This buys you enough time to evacuate the building and call for the rescue forces.
Most of the deaths in an event of a fire occur due to inhalation of toxic gases that the fire produces, rather than the fire itself. These toxic gases enter the respiratory tract, decrease the oxygen levels, and cause difficulty in breathing. Our plywood with Firewall Technology has been treated with specialised fire-resistant chemicals. Because of this, there is less emission of smoke and other toxic gases in case of a fire. This minimises the risk of suffocation and poisoning in the inhabitants. Additionally, the plywood douses the fire once the source of the fire has been eliminated.
Plywood with Firewall Technology has been extensively tested to withstand fires of all kinds. It takes about an hour for the flame to penetrate through a 19 mm thick plywood of Firewall Ply. Therefore, enough time is allowed for the people inside to collect their essential documents and evacuate. Additionally, the firefighters also arrive at the scene within this time. This slow penetration of fires is a valuable feature for Indian homes, ensuring the safety and security of your families.
The plywood has been brought to the market after extensive testing and research. It has successfully passed the benchmarks of the American standards ASTM E84, Indian Standards IS 5509, and British standards BS 476.
If you are worried about whether exposure to water and moisture will damage your plywood, don’t worry! We are happy to inform you that CenturyPly Firewall Technology Plywood does not allow water from the atmosphere to get absorbed into it, thus preventing damage to plywood furniture. Once the fire is extinguished, your furniture will be free from wate induced damage and retain its physical properties and integrity.
