UNIEPAL-DREW Aqua Kolor, Special FR - ideal solution for fire protection of wooden structures outdoors

...

Wood has been a valued building and finishing material for centuries, used in homes, public buildings, furniture and outdoor structures. Its unique qualities, such as high mechanical resistance, poor thermal conductivity and a wealth of natural colors, make it enduringly popular. However, wood's combustible properties are its key limitation, especially in the context of today's fire safety requirements.

UNIEPAL-DREW products - ideal for fire protection of wood and wood-based materials

Why protect wood against fire?

Wood, although durable, is susceptible to fire, which makes it particularly vulnerable in construction. The causes of fires in wooden buildings can vary: electrical or gas failures, open sources of fire or construction errors. Therefore, fire protection is an investment in the safety and durability of the structure. Well-chosen preparations can significantly reduce the risk of fire and minimize potential damage.

Standards and certificates - a guarantee of quality

UNIEPAL-DREW products have European Technical Assessments (ETA), which means that they comply with the rigorous standards in force in the European Union. This allows these solutions to be used not only in Poland, but also throughout the continent. All UNIEPAL-DREW varnishes provide protection of wood and wood-based materials against fire in the class of reaction to fire b-s1,d0, which means that the painted surfaces are non-flammable, non-smoking and non-drip, and have NRO, i.e. do not spread fire.

A comprehensive approach to fire protection

Protecting wood against fire requires consideration of many factors, such as the class of reaction to fire and the ability to emit smoke. UNIEPAL-DREW products meet not only the standards for flammability itself (class b), but also auxiliary criteria such as smoke emission (class s1) or production of flaming droplets (class d0). This makes them safe to use and minimizes the effects of potential hazards.
