FAQ
Fire reaction assesses ignitability, flame spread and the ability to withstand the development of fire. It applies to construction and building materials and is also applicable to floors with FR reaction classified according to flooring application. The criteria evaluated are flame spread, heat and smoke levels, as well as the production of flaming droplets/particles. The standard used to measure this is EN 13501-1.
Fire resistance assesses the structural and functional fire resistance capacity. It applies to final construction elements such as walls, ceilings, doors and partitions. The criteria evaluated are mechanical resistance, resistance to flames and gases and thermal insulation over a period of time. The standard used to classify this is EN 13501-2.
Sonae Arauco wood-based panels are evaluated according to the EN 13501-1 (fire reaction) standard.
Yes, and that’s one of the key advantages of Fire X. Our products are designed to offer high fire protection without compromising on workability. They can be cut, drilled and machined using standard tools, just like conventional boards. This makes installation fast, flexible and efficient, saving time on-site while ensuring top-tier safety performance. Please be aware that any processing that could lead to changes in the board surface may require final product certification.
Maintenance is minimal - a simple routine inspection is all it takes to ensure continued protection. For cleaning surfaced materials, standard non-abrasive and non-steam methods are sufficient to keep surfaces in optimal condition without compromising fire safety. With Fire X products, you get peace of mind, reliable protection, low upkeep and lasting value.
Fire X products are designed with safety and practicality in mind - even before installation. For optimal performance, they should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated area, protected from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. During transport, ensure the products are securely packed to prevent damage and contamination. With proper handling, Fire X maintains its integrity from warehouse to worksite, ensuring reliable fire protection from day one.
