Chipboard

Fire-rated chipboard, also known as flame-retardant chipboard, is a type of chipboard that has been treated with fire-retardant chemicals to improve its fire-resistant properties. The fire-retardant chemicals in the chipboard are designed to prevent the spread of flames and smoke in the event of a fire.

Fire-rated chipboard is often used in construction and building applications where fire safety is a concern, such as wall partitions, flooring, and ceilings. It is also used in furniture manufacturing, particularly for items such as bookshelves and cabinets.

It’s important to note that fire-rated chipboard has a different level of fire resistance depending on the specific product and the testing standards used. There are various testing standards for fire resistance, such as the European Standard EN 13501-1 and the American Standard ASTM E84. It’s essential to check the specific fire rating of the chipboard before using it in a construction or furniture project to ensure it meets the required safety standards.
