What is Fire Retardant Plywood?

Plywood manufactured by employing Firewall Technology is referred to as Fire Retardant or Flame Resistant Plywood. It can withstand the effect of fire far better than regular plywood available in markets today.

It utilises nano-engineered particles that are embedded in the plywood’s polymer matrix providing it the best-in-class fire-fighting properties.

Features of Fire Retardant Plywood

The major distinctive characteristics of plywood infused with Firewall technology are:​​​​​​​

1. It has low flammability and higher flame penetration time which decreases the tendency of fire to spread over the plywood.

2. It is termite and borer-proof.

3. The plywood infused with Firewall technology helps reduce toxic smoke emission and thus suffocation.

What is Firewall Technology by CenturyPly?

This guarantees that you will be safeguarded in the event of such a situation.

●​​​​​​​ CenturyPly fire-retardant plywood delays the spread of fire on a material's surface by 35 minutes. The chemical treatment embedded in the plywood remains structurally intact even after the plywood is completely burned down. The fire-resistant plywood needs more than 50 minutes for the fire to burn through the complete furniture or surface. Thus, the fire-retardant plywood provides you and the other people with time to leave the premises.

● The fire-retardant plywood manufactured by CenturyPly has been chemically treated to make it both fire-resistant and also borer and termite proof.
