Safety comes with firewall, not luck.

In India close to 1.6 million accidents are caused by fire, this number which has thankfully reduced over the years due to precautionary measures, is still quite unnerving and disheartening. While we can’t completely stop such accidents from happening at the moment, the popular proverb ‘Prevention is better than cure’ does come to us. One possible way to prevent fires from causing as much harm is by using fire-retardant plywood for our furniture. As the name suggests, fire-retardant plywood is plywood that tends to reduce the spread of fire. A popular choice for such plywood is the select range of fire-retardant plywood offered by CenturyPly.

CenturyPly’s plywood comes with the revolutionary ‘Firewall Technology’ that has the best in class fire-fighting properties. The Firewall technology is essentially nano-engineered particles that are embedded in the polymer matrix of plywood which makes the plywood fire-resistant thereby aiding in fire safety.

This revolutionary technology by CenturyPly is also certified as per the Indian Standards IS 5509, the American standards ASTM E84 as well as the British standards BS 476 for various critical parameters like flammability, spreadability, penetration, and smoke-developed index.

Some notable features of fire retardant plywood from CenturyPly are listed as follows:

● Extremely low inflammability rate :

A 19mm thick ply with Firewall technology when tested for flammability, takes more than half an hour before the fire burns the surface. This allows a person to have enough time to extinguish the fire and leave the premises safely without much hassle.

● Lower Level of Smoke :

To protect against the toxic fumes that are generated in case of a fire, the smoke development index for ply with Firewall Technology is 155, so the amount of toxic smoke emitted in case of fire is lower than that produced by normal plywood hence preventing you from getting suffocated by smoke. 

● Impressive flame penetration rate:

For flame penetration testing, the expected time is a minimum of 2.5 times the thickness of ply in minutes while CentruryPly’s fire-retardant plywood had a flame penetration rate that was greater than 3 times the thickness of ply in minutes. 

● Waterproof and weather-resistant:

These fire-retardant plywood from CenturyPly are also waterproof and weather-resistant to ensure that your furniture is in impeccable condition throughout the year. Therefore, making it the ideal choice for offices or restaurants where activities that involve heat and fire are frequent along with high exposure to water.

● Borer & Termite Proof -

All plywood from CenturyPly along with the fire retardant range are borer and termite-proof. With the use of a special Glue line Protection, the plywood not only resists termite attacks but also destroys them. Thereby, keeping you stress-free when it comes to the hygiene of your living spaces.

Invest in your safety by adopting fire-retardant plywood for all your furniture needs and when it comes to the best plywood in the country, there is no other name but CenturyPly to tend to your interiors. So go on and take this important step for fire safety for both you and your loved ones, because remember safety comes with firewall, not luck.
