Fire can cause widespread harm, damage and even loss of life. Buildings, expensive artifacts and documents are reduced to ashes within minutes. Which is why, it makes eminent sense to use a fire retardant plywood one can rely on – Mayur Fire Safe/ Retardant Plywood. Impregnated with leach proof fire retardant chemicals, it resists ignition, surface spread and penetration of fire and ensures low flammability and smoke generation. It also termite, borer and fungus resistant, thanks to a three-tier preservative treatment.
Features
- Low flammability and smoke generation
- Resists ignition, surface spread and penetration
- Leach resistant: Fire retardant chemical will not wash out
- Non-hygroscopic: Does not corrode
- Permits overlaying, lamination or painting
- Can be machine cut with ordinary tools
- Three tier preservative treatment for deeper penetration
- Resists fungi, termites and borers
- Formaldehyde emission within acceptable norms
- Dimensionally stable in adverse environments
- Low additional cost
Usage
- Room and wall lining
- Vehicle bodies/interiors
- Exhibition stalls
- Boiler houses
- Auditoriums
- Railway coaches
- Partition paneling
- Office cubicles
- Kitchens
- Public food stalls
