Fire-O is an innovative, environmentally friendly, water based chemical used in fire prevention and protection.

Areas of Use:
INDUSTRIAL USE
Natural Wood / MDF / OSB / PLYWOOD
 Vacuum treated wood with Fire-O Fire Proofing Chemicals such as pine, Anigre, Oak, Ash tree, Beech, Spruce or OSB, MDF, Plywood may be used in the production following fire proof projects:
- Joists and subflooring.
- Beams and purlins.
- Stud-framed walls and partitions.
- Roof decks and sheathing.
- Roof and floor trusses.
- Wood blocking and furring.
- Paneling and architectural millwork.
- Rough Carpentry
- Finish Carpentry
- Manufactured Wood Trusses
- Architectural Woodwork
- Kitchen cabinets
- Furniture
- Window frames
- Fire doors
MDF or wood treated with Fire-O, used in kitchen furniture would bring a high level of safety to the major source of household fires, the kitchen
Fireproof doors would bring the safety of steel fire doors used in the hotels to your homes by isolating each room in case of fire.
OSB which is widely used in the construction as isolation in the roofs, if treated with Fire-O, becomes virtually impossible to burn.
While processing, if the logs are treated with Fire-O, a high standard of fire safety is brought to the wooden houses.
During MDF production, we suggest the use of Fire-O powder, in order to render the MDF fireproof.
Below, illustrated the production phases of OSB
|
Log Sorting
After harvest, whole logs are hauled to the mill's wood yard, then sorted. |
 |
|
Jackladder
Logs are soaked, to remove ice and prepare wood for stranding, then sent up the jackladder. |
 |
|
Debarking
Logs are run through the debarker to remove bark. Bark is later used as fuel in the mill's energy supply. |
 |
|
Stranding
The strands are cut from whole logs into precise dimensions of up to six inches long. |
 |
|
Wet Bins
Strands are deposited into wet bins (a standard OSB manufacturing step).
THIS IS THE STEP WHERE FİRE-O IS APPPLIED |
 | |
|
Drying
Strands are then dried until the appropriate moisture content is reached. |
 |
|
Blending
Strands are blended with resin binders and a small amount of wax, which improves the efficiency of the resin binder and enhances the panel's resistance to moisture and water absorption. |
 |
|
Forming Line
Strands go through the forming line where cross-directional layers are formed. |
 |
|
Pressing
Layers of cross-directional strands are pressed under intense heat and pressure to form a rigid, dense structural panel of oriented strand board (OSB). Presses are primarily multiple opening allowing 8 to 16 master panels to be pressed in one operation for increased efficiency. Since 1997, continuous presses producing a ribbon of OSB commenced operation on certain sites. |
 |
|
Finishing Line
Panels are cooled, cut to size, grade stamped, stacked in bundles and edge coated. All graded panels bear a mandatory certification agency stamp, plus the SBA logo if applicable. |

Paper
 Wood pulp treated with Fire-O Fire Proofing Chemicals is used in the production of following projects:
- Packaging (Envelops and boxes for the transfer of valuable documents)
- Wallpaper
- Table Cover
- Place Mat
Textile
  Textile processed with Fire-O shall bring a high standard of safety to police, fireman and army uniforms.
Fire-O is a basic solution, and thus can be used as a detergent to clean carpets and curtains (for average cleaning purposes, not against heavy and/or greasy stains). The cleaning will make the curtains and carpets fireproof. This may help hotels to attain fire safety standards easily.
Felt
  Felt material widely used in the household or automotive industry as fillings in chairs, seats and car doors as isolation, if processed with Fire-O during production, would make the interior of a car virtually impossible to burn.
Other
  If Fire-O sprayed from an airplane, onto a tree-covered area, it can be used as a fireproof barrier in order to prevent forest fire expansion. Fire-O is environmentally friendly and safe to use directly on plants and trees.
Fire-O, in powder form can be used in the production of fire proof electric cable.
Fire-O may also be used with water based paints in the production of flame retardant paint
