Escape a Fire-Accident with Firewall Technology in Your Plywood

A common concern is wood catching fire easily during an accident when you make wooden furniture. And this is what puts off some people from getting wooden furniture. But at the same time, you can find plywood sheets which, instead of being the cause of spreading fire, would instead act as a fire retardant. 

When you set out to find fire-retardant plywood, you can find the quality of firewall technology in the plywood sheets of CenturyPly. The technology is unique and solely the innovation of CenturyPly. You would not find the qualities of this technology anywhere else that can provide you with the benefit of escaping a fire accident.

How Does Firewall Technology Help You During a Fire-Accident?

During a fire incident, you need firewall technology that helps you in many ways. These ways are the following: 

● Low Flammability

Flammability refers to the time a plywood takes to catch fire and ignite its environment. After many tests and experimentation, firewall technology was created to ascertain that it takes way longer for the fire to spread on the plywood. In this way, firewall technology in the plywood is way more efficient in its workings as compared to regular plywood. 

A CenturyPly plywood infused in firewall technology not only takes longer to burn out, but once the source of fire is removed, it puts out the fire itself. Low flammability is most useful when you have to control the spread of fire while also having a good amount of time to evacuate. 

● Low Smoke Emission

With firewall technology, your plywood would not emit much smoke. When a fire is spreading fast, then the biggest concern is the suffocation that the smoke may cause. So, if you don't get a lot of smoke, you would also have the lowest chance of suffocating. 

The benefit of smoke-low emission is received from the chemicals used with the firewall technology on the surface of the plywood. It does not even wear off with years of use; rather, it remains the same year after year. 

● Slow Fire Penetration

One of the most common reasons most fire incidents worsen is the quick and easy penetration of flames. In any fire accident, the spread must be slowed down in any way possible. One of the ways of doing that is by using plywood infused in firewall technology that makes fire take approximately 50 minutes to penetrate the surface of the 19 mm plywood(under standard lab condition).It gives you a good time to set your rescue mission in motion. You could get your family to a safe spot while calling upon the fire brigade, ambulance, and whoever you need. 

Other Ways Firewall Technology Helps You Long-Term​​​​​​​

Firewall technology does not only help reduce the spread of fire or low smoke emissions but in many other ways. Some of these ways include the following: 

● Structural Integrity

With the firewall technology, you would also be able to save the structural integrity of the plywood against any fire. The nano-engineered particles involved in the technology help maintain the wood's inherent strength along with adhesives. Even when the plywood is subjected to fire, it maintains its strength and durability with an extra layer of safety. 

● Non-engineered Particles

Firewall technology is not only on the surface of your CenturyPly plywood but also on every grain of wood on the plywood. These particles resist flame or ignition penetration, which provides enhanced fire resistance properties. It provides a good time to take safety measures and precautions that might be required. 

● Genuine IS 5509 Plywood

Many plywood sheets in the market claim to facilitate fire retardant qualities. But not all of them are genuine. The CenturyPly plywood infused with firewall technology is the genuine IS 5509-compliant plywood available in the market. It works as an assurance of trust and safety. 

Certified Fire-Retardant: Firewall Technology​​​​​​​

The CenturyPly plywood sheets with firewall technology include Club Prime and Architect Ply. And the firewall technology had been tested under standard testing conditions. In those conditions, the technology performed the best. For this, it has received the benchmarks of British standards BS 476, American standards ASTM E84, and Indian standards IS 5509. 

The different benchmarks provide legitimate efficiency that you cannot find elsewhere. Moreover, when you purchase the CenturyPly plywood sheets, you are getting the benefit of firewall technology and many other benefits that ensure the longevity of your plywood. These benefits are tested similarly to the firewall technology and give you an overall advantage in purchasing the CenturyPly plywood sheets. 

In a Nutshell​​​​​​​

Finding plywood that provides you with safety from fire incidents is rare. Moreover, with CenturyPly plywood, you are investing in a fire-retardant plywood that will last many years. The warranty can sometimes exceed even a decade, and you can select from a premium range of plywood. CenturyPly provides you with a win-win situation of getting protective qualities with good looks.
