Engineered Wood Products
Strength-Weight ratio of engineered wood products is better than commonly believed. Impregnation with fire safety chemicals ruins mechanical performance of wood products and adhesion in gluelines also. Impregnation should not be used for fire protection of wood products.
If engineered wood product is covered with non-combustible Ceratol layer, there is no need for new mechanical calculations. Same classification and parameters can be used as before. All background work done and data collected during hundreds of years of active research can be used like before.
Fire safety class B-s1-d0 can be achieved with all engineered wood products from beams to plies.
Process.
Imagine fire safe engineered wood product process running without external or additional process steps. Ceratol fire safety layer can be installed in same process used to glue wood parts. The most cost effective fire safety solution. Simply Effective!
To get best out of novel fire safety materials, try to combine stimuli-responsive glue line with non-combustible surface layer.
