You can enhance the fire properties and fire-resistance rating of wood by treating it with Kiilto’s Fireproof flame retardant. Kiilto Fireproof flame retardants are environmentally friendly and do not affect the other properties or appearance of wood.
Wood has excellent properties: it is energy-efficient, durable, renewable, easy to work with and pleasing to the eye. However, untreated wood is highly flammable, which makes it less attractive for a number of applications such as building materials.
Treating wood with Kiilto’s Fireproof flame retardants can improve its fire properties and fire-resistance rating. Fireproofed wood or plywood, such as spruce, birch or aspen are mainly used as structural components in various applications. Such treatment can enable up to EN 13501-1 Class B fire performance.
Various treatment options
Kiilto Fireproof W-series flame retardants are single-component, water-soluble, pH-neutral and industrially applicable products for wood materials. Their flame retardant properties are tailored to meet the customer’s production process and requirements. Possible treatment methods include:
- spray

Each production line is unique. The wood type and application method also have a major effect on how the wood should be treated. Alongside the customer, Kiilto’s flame retardant team plans and implements the most suitable flame retardant treatment.
