How is Firewall Technology Unique in Plywood?

When it comes to plywood sheets, they are expected to burn out when they come in contact with fire or a source of fire. But that does not happen with CenturyPly plywood. The plywood sheets of CenturyPly come with this unique technology made entirely by CenturyPly to ensure your safety. 

With the firewall technology, if any fire hazard breaks out, even if the furniture catches fire, it will not easily spread the fire. Instead, it will take a considerable amount of time before the inner core of the ply is affected. At this time, if you remove the source of the fire, then the plywood will self-extinguish the fire caught on its surface. However, if you cannot remove the fire source, it will provide you with enough time to evacuate and call any emergency first responders that can help you out there. 

In such a way, the firewall technology ensures you get security and safety with your plywood. You can use that plywood in any way you want for your food stalls, hospital, office, commercial hub, home, kitchen cabinets or anywhere else. 

Why is CenturyPly's Firewall Technology the Best Choice?

There are many reasons why plywood with the firewall technology of CenturyPly is considered the best choice in the market. These reasons include the following:

●​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Genuine IS 5509 plywood

Even though many manufacturers in the markets claim to possess the ability of fire retardancy through their plywood, it is only the firewall technology of CenturyPly, which is the authentic IS 5509 compliant plywood sheets available in the market. It is a form of both trust and safety on everyone's part. ​​​​​​​

●​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Less toxic gas and smoke emission​​​​​​​

A significant concern with any wooden furniture made of plywood is the huge amount of smoke it would generate upon catching fire. However, the CenturyPly plywood made with firewall technology has a combination of chemicals that ensure less toxic gases and smoke is generated during any fire incident. It will help in decreasing any gas poisoning and suffocation. It is one of the significant reasons why you should choose firewall technology and not any other regular plywood. ​​​​​​​

●​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Enhance fire resistance with nano-engineered particles​​​​​​​

A plywood involving firewall technology is made with nano-engineered particles, which resist any flame or ignition penetration along with providing any increased properties of fire resistance. If fire catches onto the surface of the plywood, you will not have to worry about it spreading the fire. In the meantime, you can save your family and belongings from the fire. ​​​​​​​

●​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Slow rate of fire penetration​​​​​​​

Under standard conditions of any fire accident, it requires more than 50 minutes for any flame to go through the surface of firewall technology plywood with a 19 mm density. During this time, you will be able to easily evacuate people in that area and save all your important documents and valuables. And the first responders will also be able to extinguish the fire in such a situation. ​​​​​​​

●​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Years of warranty​​​​​​​

The firewall technology comes with decades of warranty along with providing you with the benefit of borer and termite proof. However, even if your furniture made out of CenturyPly plywood catches fire on the surface, it will still have effective firewall technology for years of use. It will only wear off if the core of the furniture gets damaged, and even that will take a long time to be affected. ​​​​​​​

●​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Protect hardware elements with non-hygroscopic material​​​​​​​

The CenturyPly plywood with firewall technology does not absorb much moisture from its environment. In this way, it does not affect the other hardware elements that could rust due to coming in contact with moisture. It will not flake or fall off even when dousing the plywood with water. Since it absorbs no water, it dries off from the surface without any liquid penetration. ​​​​​​​

●​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Structural integrity against fire​​​​​​​

The firewall plywood retains its structural integrity with a combination of adhesives, nano-engineered treatment, and wood's inherent strength. When subjected to fire, the plywood has layers of protection that stop fire penetration.​​​​​​​

In a Nutshell​​​​​​​

During any unfortunate event, firewall technology will prove to be most useful. And when you are purchasing the CenturyPly plywood, you are not only getting the benefits of firewall technology but many others that contribute to the inherent strength of the plywood. You can even choose the density of the plywood; the thicker it is, the longer it will remain unaffected by the fire.
