Flame Retardant Particleboard
Encore™ FR is an environmentally preferable Class 1 flame retardant particleboard panel manufactured from recycled wood fiber. Additives are blended with the wood fiber to provide flame retardant properties throughout the panel. This ensures the flame retardancy isn’t compromised when the panel is machined or sanded, resulting in an extra level of protection compared to products made with surface flame retardant coatings. Encore™ FR is produced with no added urea formaldehyde and meets the most stringent emission standards in the world, including the Phase 2 requirements of the California Air Resources Board ATCM 93120. Encore™ FR is available with the option of FSC Chain of Custody certification and has enhanced moisture resistant properties as an added bonus.
