Fire Retardant Vacuum Pressure Impregnationis a manufacturing process for fire retardant treating large quantities of lumber, plywood and timbers by forcing fire retardant solutions deep into the voids and cells of the wood. The moisture laden fire retardant wood is then Kiln Dried after Treatment (KDAT) 19% for lumber and timbers and 15% for plywood

Fire resistance refers to that property of materials and their component assemblies (fire rated assemblies) which prevents or retards the passage of excessive heat, hot gases or flames under conditions of use. A fire resistance rating is the time in hours or fractions thereof that materials or their assemblies will resist fire exposure as determined by fire tests (ASTM E119).

Flame Safe Wood Products fire retardant lumber, fire retardant plywood, fire retardant timber and fire retardant wood specalties have been tested by accredited third party testing agencies. Flame Safe warrants it’s products to perform as tested and will furnish test reports upon request, in addition to those published on FLAME SAFE'S web site
Flame Safe lumber is kiln dried to a moisture content not to exceed 19%. Flame Safe plywood is kiln dried to a moisture content not to exceed 15%. Flame Safe’s finished moldings and trim is kiln dried to a maximum moisture content of 6 to 12 % depending on the species and specific use. Pitch in the wood is crystallized permitting interior and exterior finishes to be easilly applied. When kiln dried, Flame Safe fire retardant treated wood becomes lighter and stronger, maximizing it's structural uses.

	Interior and Exterior Fire Retardant Treated Plywood		Interior and Exterior Fire Retardant Treated Timbers

Softwood Plywood:
Cedar, Douglas Fir, SPF (Spruce, Pine, Fir) Redwood - typically used for commercial construction & industrial purposes

Hardwood Plywood:
Birch - excellent strength, stiffness and resistance to creep - it has a high planar shear strength and impact resistance, which makes it especially suitable for heavy-duty floor and wall structures

Aircraft plywood:
Mahogany and/or birch - high strength plywood

Marine Plywood:
Manufactured from durable face and core veneers, with few defects so it performs longer in humid and wet conditions and resists delaminating and fungal attack - used in docks and boats

GRADE	DESCRIPTION	USES
