Another such event that creates a great amount of distress and loss both for material and mankind is that of fire. Fire accidents to this day remain a reason for great concern and measures for fire safety still remain an issue for they are still not adopted all over the country.

One innovative material that has really helped in taking a step towards fire safety is fire-retardant plywood. Being one of the most versatile materials available in the market, plywood with fire-fighting properties can be of remarkable help in the unfortunate event of fire. For premium quality plywood, CenturyPly has a commendable range of fireproof plywood which is plywood equipped with a revolutionary technology known as ‘Firewall technology’.

Curated by CenturyPly, the Firewall technology is an indigenously developed technology that involves the use of nano engineered particles which are embedded in the polymer matrix of a plywood, giving it best in class fire-fighting properties.

The Firewall technology is available in two ranges offered by CenturyPly which is the Architect ply range and Club Prime range. For both of these ranges, a 19mm thick plywood performs 
superior under standard test condition to the benchmarks specified by Indian Standards IS 5509, American standards ASTM E84 and British standards BS 476 when measured against critical parameters like flammability, spread ability, penetration and smoke developed index. Therefore when it comes to fire retardant plywood, for the value for money that you deserve, only choose CenturyPly, the name the entire nation trusts.

Some USPs of plywood enriched with Firewall Technology are as follows:

Thereby, allowing one to safely exit the premises and call the firefighters.
