Technology
As far as fire safety is concerned, it is always better to prevent a fire outbreak than to put it out. Fire accidents are disastrous, and selecting the right materials during construction or remodeling can help prevent such disasters. The most revolutionary development in this field is Firewall Technology, which is the basis of CenturyPly’s fire-resistant plywood. In this guide, you will learn how this technology is used, the advantages that come with it, and why it should be part of your next project.
What is Firewall Technology?
Firewall Technology is a new generation fire resistant system that is used to improve the fire rating of plywood. While normal plywood is known to be a fire hazard that can spread fire, CenturyPly Firewall Plywood has been chemically treated with fire resistant chemicals. These chemicals are added at the molecular level during the process of manufacturing the plywood and therefore the plywood is resistant to ignition and flame spread.
How Firewall Technology Works
- Delayed Ignition
Another advantage of CenturyPly’s Firewall Technology is that it can slow down ignition. It takes a longer time for the plywood to catch fire in case of a fire outbreak, which is very important in evacuation and fire fighting.
- Reduced Flame Spread
When subjected to fire, Firewall Plywood slows down flame spread by forming a char layer on its surface. This is beneficial in that it limits the spread of the fire and thus the amount of damage that is done.
- Low Smoke Emission
The other significant feature of the technology is the low level of smoke production during the combustion process. Conventional plywood releases a lot of smoke, which is even worse than fire in as much as it is dangerous. Firewall Plywood releases a small amount of smoke, thus enhancing visibility and minimising the chances of people getting affected by smoke.
- Non-Toxic Composition
The chemicals used in Firewall Technology are nontoxic and environmentally friendly. This makes the plywood safe for both residential and commercial purposes, it does not affect indoor air quality and is safe for occupants.
Advantages of CenturyPly Firewall Technology
- Enhanced Fire Protection
CenturyPly Firewall has a better fire resistance which means that the fire will not spread quickly thus allowing the occupants to escape easily and the firefighters to attend to the fire.
- Cost Efficiency
Although it may cost more than the normal plywood to purchase, the amount of money that will be saved in the long run through reduced fire outbreaks, low insurance premiums and fewer repair bills makes it a worthy investment.
- Versatility and Durability
CenturyPly Firewall is not only fire resistant but also has a great deal of durability. It can be employed in furniture, wall paneling and structural members and does not in any way affect the strength or appearance of the product.
- Certified Quality
CenturyPly Firewall is fire-safe and is certified for its fire-resistant features, thus giving homeowners and builders a sense of security.
