High-rise buildings are at a risk for greater damage in case of fire. Fire can spread more rapidly vertically (up and down) in tall buildings making quick control a tough task. By using Uniply Fire Retardant Plywood with nonflammable properties, you can cut the risk of unchecked spread of fire. Just the use of this plywood instead of regular ones can lead to great savings in property.

The flame retardant solution is impregnated into the veneer through vacuum pressure. The partial permeability of the veneer, the glue lines and penetration from the ends of the veneer make it possible to impregnate plywood through this measure. A vacuum pressure of not less than 56cmHg is applied and kept for 20-30 minutes. The flame retardant solution is impregnated with a pressure of 2- 1 2kgf/cm3.

Flammability- For the second ignition shall not be less than 20-30 minutes, depending upon the nature of wood.

Flame penetration - For flame penetration shall not be less than 6-1 2 minutes for every 6mm thickness depending upon the species of wood and its density.

Rate of burning -To lose weight from 30-70%shall not be less than 15- 20 minutes.
