Fire Retardant Plywood (Class 3)
Fire retardant plywood is treated using chemicals that make it unable to oxidize. This is what makes it hard to burn. Where applied, the FRT plywood will char when on fire but will not burn. It can significantly reduce the progress of a fire.
Read more Fire retardant plywood is specially treated with chemicals that act as a physical barrier to fire. The sheet material works by utilizing two mechanisms. One of them is reducing the flammability of fire-resistant plywood by lowering the rate at which flames travel and subsequently slowing down combustion. The second mechanism involves the chemicals reducing the rate at which heat is released from the fire-treated plywood when there’s a fire. By altering the vapors released in the combustion process, it can make the flames less volatile. ` If you pick type A FRT plywood, you can use it where the relative humidity is 95% or less and in places where it is not exposed to the weather or water sources. Type B fire-retardant plywood is best used in areas where the humidity is below 75%. You can also get fire rated plywood that is perfect for exterior applications and places where the humidity can reach 95% or higher. Depending on the type, you could get FRT plywood that prevents water from leaching the ply grain’s fire-retardant substance. When purchasing fire-resistant plywood, ensure that you check it for: Fire retardant plywood is used in commercial and residential applications worldwide. When constructing a new structure, fire-rated plywood is infused into interior elements like: FRT plywood is also suitable for exterior applications, except for where there’s contact with the ground, as that would cause it to degrade due to resistance. Fire-resistant plywood is also excellent for uses where retrofitting, or remodeling is taking place. Using the fireproof ply, one can fortify existing structural elements or replace them if they do not have the same properties as FRT plywood. Caution must be observed when working with FRT plywood and lumber because some modifications outside the usual sawing and fastening may modify the burning characteristics. The chemicals used in treating the fire retardant wood are not considered hazardous. With standard safety procedures, those working with the wood are protected. What is fire retardant plywood
