OWI-FireProtect

With OWI-FireProtect, we offer flame-retardant moulded timber components with a wall thickness of 6 mm or more.

All OWI-FireProtect products are made from specially impregnated beech veneers, bonded with a modified UF resin. All types of thermally heated moulds can be used during production. The technical and mechanical properties are comparable to those of our standard products and differ only slightly.

This enables us to meet the enhanced fire safety requirements for applications such as seats for buses, trains, airport seating and many more.

Our OWI-FireProtect material is certified to the latest standard, EN 45545-2:2020+A1:2023, and meets the stringent requirements of requirement set R6 for hazard levels HL1 and HL2. OWI-FireProtect products with HPL surfaces even achieve certification for the highest hazard level, HL3.

The fire performance test is carried out in accordance with DIN ISO 5660-1:2015+A1:2019 “Tests on the fire behaviour of building materials – Heat release, smoke development and mass loss rates – Part 1: Heat release rate (cone calorimeter method) and smoke development rate (dynamic measurement)”. A test certificate is available.

Smoke emission has been tested in accordance with DIN EN ISO 5659-2:2017 Plastics – Smoke emission – Part 2: Determination of optical density by single-chamber test, and smoke toxicity has been tested in accordance with EN 45545-2:2013+A1:2015, Annex C.
