Bursting Myths about Firewall Technology

Since its inception, CenturyPly has been running on the principle of applying innovation at work. We have always been on the lookout for customer’s needs and creating groundbreaking products. The most recent in our portfolio is the revolutionary Firewall technology used in manufacturing world-class fire-retardant plywood to protect you, your loved ones, and your precious belongings from fire-related accidents.

But usually, when an innovative idea converts into a tangible product and reaches the market, some doubts and myths are attached to it. And it’s natural. Thus it is important that we must separate myths and facts to bring nothing but a clear understanding of our new fire-retardant plywood. Read on:

MYTH #1

Firewall Technology is a surface treatment

FACT #1

No, Firewall technology is not a surface treatment. It is across the cross-section. The technology involves the use of nano engineered particles which are embedded in the polymer matrix of a plywood. The fire-fighting properties remain in the plywood until the integrity of the product is maintained.

MYTH #2

Plywood with Firewall technology will not withstand its Fire-retardant properties after the laminate surface is applied?

FACT #2

This statement is logically wrong. Firewall technology is not a surface treatment, it is across the cross section. Thus no surface treatment such as laminate or any other surface polish would affect its properties.

Be it with or without laminate, your fire-retardant plywood would be equally effective in delaying the spread of fire and minimizing the emission of smoke and toxic gases.

MYTH #3

Moisture damages the plywood with Firewall technology.

FACT #3

No, plywood with Firewall technology absorbs little or no moisture from the surroundings. This plywood is completely waterproof and can be used to create furniture for spaces with high water inflow, such as bathrooms and kitchens. In fact, all other properties of the plywood, like malleability, durability, and antiviral, are also retained.

MYTH #4

Firewall technology is health hazardous.

TRUTH #4

No, it isn’t. Firewall technology is completely safe. It is a world-class technology and is approved from the benchmark set by the Indian, American, and British standards. You can be fully assured about the safety of your family when using the fire-retardant plywood.

Moreover, since Firewall Technology is a special treatment and doesn’t affect the functioning of the product, it comes to you at no extra cost. Also, the existing standard warranty terms of the product remain applicable.
