The Role of Firewall Technology in Preventing and Containing Fire Hazards

Whether you're remodelling or building a new home, you always need to plan carefully every element of your proposed home, from the kind of plywood to the colouration of the doors, the dimensions of the home windows, the curtains and more.

But, have you ever given thought to how you can protect your place and make it safer for tough situations like fire breakouts? Alright! If the answer is no, you’re not alone. This is one of the essential things most homeowners forget about, but CenturyPly doesn’t! So, we bring you our best-in-class Firewall Technology.

What Is Firewall Technology?

Ordinary plywood spreads fire quickly after it ignites; your belongings get destroyed in a matter of minutes, and all that stays behind is a great deal of smoke that poses a risk of fatal suffocation. The raging fire causes irreversible losses like loss of life, trauma, injuries, mental problems, emotional and financial instability, and loss of priceless items before one can realise and take action.

CenturyPly, the largest producer of plywood in India, has introduced a new cutting-edge solution to combat fire hazards: Firewall technology. 

This technology renders our plywood fire-resistant, giving you the extra time needed to take action and be safe in the event of a fire.

How Does Firewall Technology Combat Fire?

Nanoengineered particles are used in Firewall technology, providing plywood with its best-in-class firefighting qualities by being integrated into its polymer matrix. CenturyPly with Firewall Technology is the greatest defence against fire-related self-disintegration, containment of fire spread, and smoke generation.

The ability of the plywood to combat fire for a longer duration and prevent quick spread gives users more time to call for emergency assistance, fire engines, and other resources or to save their own and loved ones' lives.

Additionally, the plywood exhibits self-extinguishing capabilities. What’s even better? The Firewall technology checks the emission of toxic fumes and abundant smoke.

When measured against crucial parameters like flammability, spreadability, penetration, and smoke developed index, CenturyPly—now enhanced with Firewall technology—is certified as the best by Indian Standards (IS 5509), American Society for Testing Material (ASTM E84), and British Standard (BS476 Part 7).

Why Does Firewall Technology Matter So Much In Terms Of Safety Assurance?

Firewall Technology not only ensures your safety during a fire but also confirms that you have peace of mind in your beloved house.

Widely Accepted Credibility

Firewall Technology stands out as the only plywood that actually complies with IS 5509 criteria, despite claims to the contrary. This accreditation sets Firewall Technology apart from other products in the market and is more than just a badge of honour. It is a guarantee of security and dependability. With this accreditation, Firewall Technology provides customers with peace of mind in an unpredictable world by reaffirming its unwavering commitment to exceptional quality and unmatched fire prevention.

Firewall technology meets Indian regulations, of course, but goes above and beyond by adhering to prestigious international standards such as ASTM E84. This commitment to quality highlights Firewall technology’s dependability and importance on a global scale, demonstrating its capacity to satisfy demanding standards acknowledged globally. By upholding these criteria, it maintains its reputation as a reliable leader in fire-resistant plywood solutions while also ensuring local safety and worldwide legitimacy.

Reduced Rate of Fire Penetration

In normal test conditions, Firewall technology plywood can withstand flames for more than 50 minutes, demonstrating exceptional resistance to fire penetration. This extended period permits the safe evacuation of you and your family and the retrieval of your beloved goods and equips first responders to fight the fire successfully. This improves general safety precautions and lessens the possible impact of fire-related mishaps by giving critical time and support during emergencies.

Non-Hygroscopic Material for Protecting Hardware

Compared to traditional materials that can absorb moisture, plywood with firewall technology doesn't absorb moisture or bend or warp. This characteristic extends the structural integrity of structures and ensures long-lasting resilience against environmental challenges, as well as protecting components from corrosion and ply delamination.

Reduced Toxic Gas Emissions and Smoke

Smoke and other harmful chemicals released during a fire pose serious health concerns. Smoking can be quite dangerous, particularly to young kids, older adults, and anyone with pre-existing medical conditions. Because of its unique combination of chemicals that resist fire, Firewall technology produces less smoke and harmful gases, which lowers the risk of suffocation and poisoning. This crucial component demonstrates the Firewall's dedication to complete fire safety by placing equal emphasis on containing flames and safeguarding people's health and safety in emergencies.

Longer Warranty

CenturyPly is so confident in the Firewall technology’s durability and dependability that it offers a comprehensive lifetime warranty against termite and borer damage in addition to its robust feature set for ArchitectPly and 30 years for ClubPrime . This long-term peace of mind gives customers reassurance and further solidifies the product's stellar safety and quality reputation.
