Fire retardant plywood is a type of plywood that has been treated with fire-resistant chemicals or coatings to reduce its flammability and enhance its fire resistance properties. It is designed to slow down the spread of flames and limit the contribution of the plywood to a fire in comparison to untreated or standard plywood. SSP approach is to apply fire-resistant coatings to the plywood's surface. These coatings can provide a protective layer that resists flames and high temperatures.

STAY SAFE

Important Note

It's important to note that while fire retardant plywood enhances fire resistance, it does not make a structure completely fireproof. It buys valuable time for occupants to evacuate and firefighters to respond, but other fire safety measures and building materials are also essential for comprehensive fire protection. The specific treatment and properties of fire retardant plywood can vary depending on the manufacturer and product, so it's important to choose the right type based on your specific needs and local building codes.

FR Plywood Uses

• Interior Wall Paneling: It is used in wall paneling to enhance the fire resistance of interior walls, particularly in commercial and public buildings.
• Ceilings: Fire retardant plywood can be used in ceilings to delay the spread of fire within a structure.
