D-Blaze fire retardant plywood is UL® Classified with FR-S Rating, code compliant under ICC-ESR 2645 and compliant with IBC2009 and IRC 2009. D-Blaze plywood is chemically pressure-treated to reduce the spread of flames and generation of smoke. In the event of a fire, this plywood will not spread fire and develops less smoke. D-Blaze plywood may be substituted for materials classified as non-combustible in certain building types designed by the model building codes. D-Blaze offers a 50-year limited warranty. This plywood can be painted or stained just as untreated wood, but flammability of the finish should be considered. D-Blaze plywood is in intended for interior use only and should be protected against direct moisture, precipitation or regular condensation. D-Blaze plywood is low-corrosivity, non-blooming and low-hygroscopicity. D-Blaze plywood has No VOC’s or Formaldehyde. Galvanized steel hardware is recommended, although the D-Blaze treatment does not increase the corrosion of bare steel. Ripping or cross-cutting plywood, drilling holes and light sanding is permissible. It is not necessary to field-treat cut ends to maintain the flames spread rating.
