TBB's innovative flame-retardant technology provides dual protection against flame retardancy and rust.

Fire has become a major safety hazard in our daily lives. With the arrival of summer, the probability of various fire accidents is also increasing. Statistics show that the number of casualties and property losses caused by fires nationwide each year is staggering, and the dangers of fire are even more severe in indoor environments. Especially in multi-story and high-rise buildings such as hotels, restaurants, and hospitals, where people are concentrated, a fire can cause not only substantial property damage but also potential fatalities. Using fire-retardant or non-combustible building materials can effectively reduce the probability of fires, prevent the spread of flames, and ensure the safety of people's lives and property. TBB has invented a new type of flame-retardant plywood that achieves both flame retardancy and corrosion resistance, aiming to reduce fire risks, improve the structural safety of home decoration, and safeguard people's home safety.

In the traditional manufacturing process of engineered wood panels, phosphorus and nitrogen-based flame retardants are typically added to impart flame-retardant properties. However, most of these flame retardants are acidic and highly hygroscopic. Prolonged use in conjunction with metal materials such as screws, hardware, and light steel keels can corrode these materials, damaging their surface morphology and affecting their mechanical properties, posing a potential threat to home decoration safety.

The flame-retardant board undergoes a unique treatment process. First, the wood veneer is impregnated in a flame retardant composed of phosphonoglycolic acid, sodium polyaspartate, and thiourea. Next, it is treated with an antioxidant composed of at least one of ferric gluconate, ferrous acetate, and ferric sulfate. Finally, it is treated with a rust absorbent composed of DOPO-modified polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane. This innovative treatment not only effectively improves the flame-retardant properties of the wood veneer but also endows it with excellent resistance to metal corrosion.

Specially treated fire-retardant boards can be widely used in the interior decoration of high-rise buildings such as hotels, restaurants, hospitals, and residential houses. They ensure that in the event of a fire, the spread of fire is effectively prevented, reducing fire risk and providing more escape time. Meanwhile, this year a nationwide public inspection campaign themed "Safety is Everyone's Responsibility" was launched, involving rigorous testing of fire-retardant boards using professional methods to ensure their fire resistance meets national standards, thus providing consumers with a safer and more reliable home environment.

Fire is merciless; prevention is key. In this sweltering summer, let's focus on home safety together, starting with choosing fire-retardant boards to add a layer of security to our lives.
