The Ultimate Test: What Happens When CenturyPly Firewall Faces Extreme Fire

Not just the roofs and walls but also the memories that make it special. But a fire can change everything in an instant. It doesn't just cause physical loss but also turns years of hard work into rubble, snatching away the sense of security a home provides. You can protect your home from unfortunate fire mishaps with Firewall Technology, the foundation of CenturyPly's fire-resistant Plywood.

While regular plywood is flammable and can contribute to the spread of fire, CenturyPly plywood is treated with fire-resistant chemicals. These compounds are applied at the molecular level during the manufacturing process, making the plywood resistant to ignition and flame spread.



Why CenturyPly Firewall Technology is the Ultimate Fire Solution?


Here are a few major qualities of the firewall technology of CenturyPly that make them the superheroes in extreme fire conditions


Slow Ignition Rate


One of the most pivotal elements in firefighting and evacuation is that plywood is slow to ignite. After deep testing, CenturyPly's flammability was determined to be 25 minutes (under standard lab test circumstances for 19 mm thick ply), which is significantly lower and shows how effective firewall technology's fire retardant properties are.


Self Extinguishing


The self-extinguishing feature of plywood with firewall technology ensures that once the fire sources are removed, the plywood and furnishings stop burning immediately, preventing further damage.


Slows Down Flames Spread


One of the key qualities that enable CenturyPly plywood to withstand extreme fire conditions is its ability to slow down flame spread. When exposed to fire, the plywood forms a protective chart layer on its surface, restricting the fire movement and minimising potential damage.


Nano- Engineered Particles


Firewall technology comes with nano-engineered particles that include fire-resistant features. These particles ensure complete safety and resist flame penetration.


Reduced Smoke Emissions


The dangerous fumes released during a fire through smoke contain carbon monoxide, which causes breathing problems and can prove fatal. The thick smoke causes reduced visibility while also creating additional challenges to escape.

Fire retardant treatment of plywood with Firewall Technology generates less fire smoke when it burns. Better air conditions and visibility become possible which enables safe evacuation from buildings.


No Warping or Weakening


We naturally tend to use water to control or extinguish fire flames. CenturyPly firewall technology ensures that the plywood stays strong, even when exposed to water. Firewall technology-infused plywood differs from regular plywood as it doesn't absorb moisture, preventing it from warping or weakening, keeping your furniture intact and durable.


Slow Penetration Rate


One of the key features of CenturyPly plywood is that it slows down fire penetration. Our plywood sheet takes over 60 minutes for flames to break through completely. This extra time helps in safe evacuation and protecting valuable belongings.


Certified Protection


The firefighting properties of Firewall Technology have received official recognition through certifications issued by IPIRTI as well as the National Test House and Spectro Analytical Labs Limited. Various certifications confirm the effectiveness of the fire-resistant properties.



Plywood That Fights Fire So That You Do Not Have To


Safety comes first, and CentryPly swears by this motto. Unfortunate incidences like fire accidents can lead to lifelong trauma, and no one wants to witness that ever. Staying vigilant and proactive ensures your home or place of work is safe from extreme fire conditions. One of the best ways to do this is by choosing plywood infused with firewall technology.

CenturyPly plywood has been certified as best in class for fire resistance. They offer key features that can help minimise damage during an unexpected fire. If you want to create a secure environment for your family and protect your property from volatile fire accidents, choosing firewall technology is a smart and responsible decision. Investing in fire-resistant plywood not only enhances the safety of your space but also provides peace of mind.

The perks of the CenturyPly plywood do not end here. The plywood also features the ViroKill Technology, which protects from bacteria and fungi. The termite and borer proofing ensures unparalleled longevity. This means your furniture stays strong and durable for years to come!
