FR Wood applications

Wood is nature's most all-round building material. It is renewable, sustainable, energy efficient, easily workable, aesthetically pleasing and has excellent mechanical properties. However, untreated wood-based panels are flammable which makes them less attractive with regard to fire safety! Treating wood panels with the correct type of flame retardant formulation can overcome this disadvantage allowing a wide range of fire retardant wood products to compete with other building materials (such as plaster boards). The main applications of FR wood based panels as we know them today:

Internal walls, ceilings, roof constructions and furniture in public buildings (such as hotels, airports, offices, hospitals, exhibition halls, theatres, schools etc …)
Exhibition stands at trade fairs
