Fire accidents, though unfortunate, are not completely unanticipated in places where fire and heat are dealt with. Kitchens, for example, and closed places like movie theatres, supermarkets or restaurants are spaces most prone to fire accidents. The most common reasons for fire accidents are either negligent handling of LPG or electrical short circuits.
Insuring against fire accidents may definitely cover you financially but one also requires something that can reduce the harm it may cause to health and person. This is where Fire Retardant Plywood plays a huge role.
How’s Fire Retardant Plywood Made?
Fire Retardant Plywood is made using high-density hardwood veneers. These individual veneers are treated with fire-retardant chemicals during the manufacturing process. The chemical treatment helps it defer flames and delay ignition. The chemical treatment it undergoes and the multiple testing done to ensure its efficacy may be the reasons why its price is always slightly higher than regular Moisture Resistant Plywood.
Fire Retardant Plywood is not fireproof plywood but they are resistant to extreme fire conditions. They resist sparks, ignite without penetration, delay the second ignition and does not emit harmful substances that cause breathing difficulties when caught in the fire.

Why Afyun’s Fire Retardant Plywood?
We have already told you about the commitments and manufacturing processes at Afyun. But now let us take a look at our Fire Retardant Plywood alone.
- Low Inflammability Rate
Afyun’s Fire Retardant Plywood undergo various tests to check flammability, rate of burning and flames to penetrate the plywood etc. as per the Bureau of India Standards.
- Great Flame Penetration Rate
Even if the ply caught fire once, the ply will still have some fire-retarding properties that allow it to delay the second ignition where the time to ignite will not be less than 15t/6min where “t” is the thickness of the plywood.
- Lower Level of Emissions
It does not emit harmful emissions if burning, unlike other plywood. Thus, protecting us from breathing difficulties or suffocation in the event of a fire breakout.
- Borer Proof
No matter where the Afyun Plywood is going to be used, the glue line treatment used in its manufacturing keeps it borer proof at all times.
- Certified Quality
Afyun’s Fire Retardant Plywoods are tested for moisture content, flammability, flame penetration and rate of burning and is certified as per Indian Standards IS:5509, making it a reliable option.
