FIRE PROTECTION HOTS UP
Fire retardant wood-based panels are a subject of keen market interest.
One FR technology specialist – Zeroignition – recently showed its capabilities to international global producers in Germany. Stephen Powney talked to Martin Dickie of Zeroignition
Delegates attending this year’s European Wood-based Panels Symposium in Hamburg (see pp57-59) would have noticed one sponsor showcasing its fire retardant technology for wood-based panels. Canada-based Zeroignition (Zi), which showed MDF and particleboard samples treated with its FR treatment at the event, believes its extensive R&D work has positioned it well to offer the global wood- based panels industry a low-cost, non-toxic fire treatment which is applied as part of the board manufacturing process.
