Westind fire retardant plywood is a revolutionary product from the makers of world class plywood and hardboards - the Western India Plywood Ltd. Evolved out of meticulous and painstaking R & D efforts, Westind fire retardant plywood is a boon for those who require fire retardant material for both interior as well as exterior applications.
- Westind fire retardant plywood: is self extinguishing; keeps the flame spread in check; avoids the structural collapse by maintaining the structural integrity always; is available in attractive colors.
- BWR (boiling water resistant) grade plywood and a unique combination of fire retardant chemicals that are incorporated into the production of Westind fire retardant plywood, make it conform to is: 5509-1980. Further more, the adoption of special vacuum cum pressure impregnation processes tremendously boost the Westind fire retardant plywood's resistance to ignition, flame penetration and surface spread of flame.
- Westind fire retardant plywood is absolutely non-hygroscopic and is available with or without intumescent coating in a range of attractive colors.
- Fire fighting mechanism: the intumescent coating provided on the Westind fire retardant.
- Plywood is specially formulated so that foaming of surface occurs at high temperatures. The surface is covered with an insulating layer which prevents access of oxygen to the surface. Water vapor which is one of the products of combustion from the protected layers absorbs the heat and reduces the temperature. Both the above factors render the product either self extinguishing or charring without affecting the structural properties of the material.
