Flame-retardant boards make us more capable of fighting fire hazards

Fire, while it brings civilization, is also incredibly merciless. If we can't escape the scourge of fire, can we prevent it before it strikes? Modern civilization has fostered the development of science and technology, and flame-retardant panels offer a surefire way forward.

Let us have the ability to fight against all avoidable fire hazards.

Flame-retardant board - the secret of flame-retardancy

1. Obstruction theory: relying on the surface covering effect of flame retardants, it prevents the wood surface from exchanging substances and energy with the surrounding environment, cutting off the oxygen supply, inhibiting the generation of combustible gases, and slowing down the thermal decomposition of wood;

2. Thermal theory: Use flame retardants in the board to dissipate heat, absorb heat and insulate heat, inhibiting the wood from reaching thermal decomposition temperature and igniting;

3. Non-combustible gas dilution theory: When heated, flame retardants decompose into non-combustible gases, which reduce the heat around the combustion surface. At the same time, the non-combustible gases dilute the concentration of combustible gases, interfering with the combustion chain reaction;

4. Free radical capture theory: Halogen series and other flame retardants can generate highly active free radicals at thermal decomposition temperature. These free radicals can capture the highly active OH radicals and H ions released when wood burns, interfering with the combustion chain reaction;

5. Volatile matter reduction theory: Flame retardants catalyze the pyrolysis process of wood, causing it to develop in the direction of increasing charcoal production and reducing combustible gas dust, so as to form a surface and charcoal protective layer to inhibit flaming combustion.

Flame-retardant board - distinguish the good from the bad

1. “Touch”: Touch the board surface with your hand to see if it is smooth;

2. "Burn": Use a blade to cut off a small piece (2-3mm in diameter) and light it horizontally.

A1: non-flammable, no open flame

Grade A2: Non-flammable, smoke must be measured and qualified.

Class B1: Flame-retardant building materials: Flame-retardant materials have good flame retardancy. They are difficult to catch fire when exposed to open flames or high temperatures in the air, are unlikely to spread quickly, and stop burning immediately when the fire source is removed.

Class B2: Combustible building materials: These materials have a certain degree of flame retardancy. When exposed to open flames or high temperatures in the air, they will immediately catch fire and burn, easily leading to the spread of fire, such as wooden columns, wooden roof trusses, wooden beams, and wooden stairs.

Class B3: Flammable building materials: no flame retardant effect, extremely easy to burn, and high fire risk.

The flame retardant performance of the flame retardant board is B1 grade, which has a good flame retardant effect. When encountering a fire, it can effectively suppress the open flame and reduce the heat, thereby buying time for escape and fire arrival.

3. "Pinch": Use your fingernails to pinch the core of the board to feel whether it is hard or soft; then use your fingernails to push upwards near the surface of the board to observe whether the surface layer peels off;

4. "Soak": Soak a small piece of sample in cold water for 24 hours and observe how much the thickness increases; then let it dry naturally and observe the deformation of the board surface after drying.

Flame-retardant panels are functional panels made from high-quality veneer wood, processed through a mature production process involving flame retardant treatment, drying, adhesive blending, adhesive application, assembly, cold pressing, and hot pressing. Their flame retardancy, smoke suppression, and smoke toxicity all meet national standards. They also maintain the excellent physical and processing properties and consistent environmental performance of traditional wood-based panels, with free formaldehyde emission limits reaching E0. These advantages have led to their frequent inclusion in major engineering projects, including the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), the Shanghai World Expo, the G20 Hangzhou Summit, and the SCO Qingdao Summit. As demand for residential safety grows, flame-retardant panels are increasingly being used in furniture manufacturing and interior decoration for private households, not just in engineering projects.

Flame-retardant panels are environmentally friendly and flame-retardant, earning them a good reputation. As one of the top ten panel brands, we are dedicated to creating a healthy and safe indoor environment.
