LEADING SUPPLIER OF FIRE RETARDANT TREATED WOOD
WHAT IS FIRE RETARDANT TREATED WOOD LIGTAN?
LIGTAN, our esteemed brand, introduces Fire Retardant Treated Wood (FRTW) – a remarkable creation that encompasses the fusion of natural wood and the infusion of cutting-edge Nano chemicals through an intricate vacuum pressure impregnation process during its very manufacturing. The result? A resplendent marvel that not only bears the authentic color and captivating scent of the original wood but also possesses an unwavering resistance to the devastating force of fire, effectively impeding its relentless propagation.
Beyond its formidable fire-retardant properties, FRTW LIGTAN goes above and beyond by fortifying itself against the incessant threat of termites and other malicious agents that seek to undermine the integrity of wood structures. With an unwavering commitment to excellence, this product exceeds the exacting standards outlined by the fireproof standard QCVN 06:2022/BXD and proudly attains a prestigious B/s1/d0 rating in accordance with the rigorous benchmarks set forth by European Union authorities.
THE ADVANTAGES OF USING LIGTAN WOOD
DOES NOT SUPPORT COMBUSTION
REDUCES BURNING SMOKE & HEAT
EXTENSION OF EVACUATING TIME
HOW FR WOOD LIGTAN WORKS?
Wood is combustible material. To understand how fire retardants in wood work, it’s important to review the basics of fire.
Three things are needed for fire: fuel, oxygen and heat. Wood serves as the fuel for fire. When exposed to heat, the cellulose and lignins that comprise wood produce flamable gases that combine with oxygen to feed and expand the fire.
Infusing fire retardants into the fiber of the wood helps break that combustion cycle. When appearing fire, fire retardant chemicals automatically react with fire or heat to convert combustible gases and tars to non-combustible carbon char, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide.
Retardants also convert the gases to char, which slows the fire growth and insulates the wood below. The nitrogen displaces the oxygen, thus smothering the fire.
This “double protection” helps FR wood LIGTAN is non-combustible!
APPLICATION
INTERIOR
Fire Retardant (FR) wood is a great choice in wooden furniture, especially ceilings in houses, villas or residential areas, especially townhouses, buildings…where the construction density is dense. Fire retardant wood helps protect the integrity of the building in the event of an emergency, giving families more time to escape and firefighters a better chance of getting the fire under control.
In civil buildings, FR wood is a good choice for flooring, partitions or decoration, walkways, stairs… Fire retardant wood makes the building more friendly and safe.
FR wood is also a good choice for decoration in halls, convention centers, exhibitions or libraries. It is also an excellent choice for interior partitions between rooms and between spaces in open plan buildings as its fire retardation will come into play in the event of a fire.
EXTERIOR
Fire Retardant (FR) wood is often used in the construction of roofs and shingles, in particular, as these are vulnerable areas of any building. FR wood provides an extra layer of protection against lightning strikes or high temperatures from the outside.
It also has an important role in the construction of support structures and frameworks. A certain proportion of fireproof material in a building’s frame and fire retardant timber can be a cost-effective way to meet or even exceed building fire protection regulations.
In addition, FR wood is the preferred material for wooden constructions, villas, resorts… Any construction near fire hazards can benefit from fire retardant wood.
