That makes it crucial to invest in fire-resistant materials that can effectively combat the devastating effects of fire.

Understanding the Firewall Technology

The Firewall Technology makes plywood fire retardant by using nano-engineered particles which are embedded in the polymer matrix of plywood. It is not a surface treatment but a cross-section treatment of the plywood, ensuring the technology is everlasting.

The Firewall Technology has been applied to most CenturyPly plywood to ensure the safety of homes, offices, commercial spaces, restaurants, and more. Any plywood with Firewall Technology provides four main benefits when compared to other plywood brands in case a fire breaks out.

●     Delays the Spread  

One of the key benefits of this technology is its ability to delay the spread of fire. Unlike traditional plywood, which can act as a medium for the rapid burning and propagation of fire, CenturyPly Plywood, enhanced with Firewall Technology, significantly slows down the progression of flames. When the fire is delayed, it gives crucial time for occupants to escape, call for emergency services, and potentially save lives.

●     Self-Extinguishing

Once the source of the fire is removed, the fire retardant plywood stops burning on its own, further preventing the fire from spreading and causing more damage. This feature not only limits the destruction caused by fire but also reduces the risk of reignition, offering enhanced safety and peace of mind.

●     Low Smoke Emission

In the event of a fire, smoke inhalation is a significant hazard that can lead to suffocation and loss of life. To prevent this, CenturyPly's Firewall Technology emits significantly less smoke compared to traditional plywood. By reducing the amount of smoke produced during a fire, this fire retardant plywood helps safeguard occupants, providing them with a better chance of escaping without asphyxiation.

●     Gives Time To Act  

Firewall Technology has the potential to save lives by giving customers critical time to act and seek help. When a fire breaks out, every moment matters. By delaying the spread of flames and reducing smoke emissions, this visionary technology allows individuals to take necessary precautions, evacuate the premises, and alert emergency services quickly. The additional time can significantly prevent casualties and minimise the overall impact of a fire incident.

These advantages make the Firewall Technology extremely reliable, giving ordinary plywood an unmatched strength which saves lives and homes. The Firewall Technology has been applied to all CenturyPly Architect Ply and Club Prime plywood and is available at no additional cost to customers.

Is the Firewall Technology Certified?

The effectiveness of CenturyPly's Firewall Technology has been rigorously tested to ensure customers can trust the feature with complete faith. It has been certified against industry benchmarks and has outperformed the standards set by Indian Standards IS 5509, British standards BS 476, and American standards ASTM E84 in critical parameters such as spreadability, flammability, smoke development index, and penetration.

Thus, CenturyPly plywood has been certified by the standards of three countries, giving it due credibility and establishing CenturyPly's range of plywood as the best-in-class choice for combating fire-related damages.

Where Should I Apply CenturyPly Fire Retardant Plywood?

Furniture is the biggest culprit that boosts the spread of fire by acting as fuel. Thus, CenturyPly plywood with Firewall Technology can be applied to furniture around the house to ensure it limits and self-extinguishes if a fire breaks out, keeping the occupants safe.

Moreover, areas that regularly work with fire and high heat, such as the kitchen, be it in the home, at a cafe, or a restaurant, are places where the risk of fire is at its highest. Therefore, Firewall Technology can keep these areas safe and prevent accidents.

CenturyPly Plywood with Firewall Technology offers more than just fire protection. It is also boiling waterproof, making it ideal for high-moisture areas like bathrooms. This plywood can withstand constant exposure to water without getting damaged, and it acts as a safety layer in case of short circuits or geyser accidents.
