Introduction

When it comes to your home, you do everything in your range to ensure all the best things. Afterall it is your dream home. So you get the best home decor, best curtains, best furniture, best lighting and so on. However, something that most people do not put much thought into is Firewall Protection!

In this article we will throw some light upon the fire mishaps in India and we will also share some great protective measures that you can take in order to keep your home and family safe! Let’s get started.

Reasons for fire accidents in India

In India, the number of deaths due to fire accidents is recorded to be 27,020 so far. Moreover, the number of overall fire mishaps is a whopping 1.6 Million. This just clearly reflects that fire protection is not something that is a priority for most Indian homes.

Let’s take a look at the the top causes of fire accidents in India:

❖      Overloaded Electrical Equipment:

Heated electrical equipment such as electric irons, kettles, blow dryers, straighteners and more can lead to an electrical overload. This is one of the most common reasons for fire mishappenings in India.

❖      Cooking Gas Cylinder:

The gas cylinder accidents are known to be very fatal and spontaneous. The main issue with these types of accidents is that they simply go unnoticed until the fumes or cylinder blast situation happens. Henceforth, nobody is prepared for the impact or able to foresee it.

❖      Electrical Short Circuit:

The number of fire accidents due to electrical short circuits are higher than the gas cylinder explosions in India. One reason for this is the conductivity of electricity. Pouring water does not help and the fire has to be put out with huge blankets or by throwing mud clumps. Either way, these items are rarely at hand. This makes Short Circuits the biggest factor for fire accidents in India.

How Does CenturyPly Firewall Protect Your home?

Wood is a naturally combustible material and it fumes flames even more. It is literally a form of fuel. But plywood is a little bit different. It is manually prepared from the wood chippings and pieces layered perpendicularly together and glued with resin. Therefore the properties of plywood are similar to wood but better. It is improved with different layering and protective coatings.

This is how CENTURYPLY FIREWALL comes into play! Firewall Protection is basically a treatment performed over plywood that embeds specialized nano engineered particles in the polymer matrix system of the plywood. This makes them fire retardant.

Features Of Century Plywood with Firewall Technology

Century Plywood has made remarkable upgrades to their products in the past decade. Let’s have a look at the qualities of the Fire-Retardant Plywood from CenturyPly, certified as the best fire-retardant plywood available in India:

❖      30 Min Fire Resistance Capacity:

Although it is less dense than wood but since it is man made, it can be treated with different layerings and coatings in order to bring resistance. This is what CenturyPly Firewall does to your plywood. It reduces the flammability of the wood particles and thus provides a 30 min fire resistance.

❖      Slow Fire-Penetration for upto 3 times the thickness of plywood

With the surface treatment, CenturyPly Firewall not only allows slow catching of fire but it also resists the penetration of fire for 50 minutes. This causes the combustion to slow down and even stop eventually. All in all, this is a wide enough time frame for taking action.  

❖      Less Smoke Production on Burning:

This is induced with the Fire-Retardant Chemicals that do not produce much smoke during the house fire. This also prevents deaths caused due to the smoke asphyxiation. It is a life saver for children and old age people.
