What is Flammex?
Flammex is a decorative, wood-based flame-retardant product range for use in buildings with increased fire protection requirements. The products support preventive fire protection in commercial building projects which need the added peace of mind offered by Class A fire protection. Flammex is available as a made-to-order product* with a lead time of 12 weeks.
Where are flame-retardant wood-based materials used?
Flame-retardant products are ideally used in high traffic buildings such as hospitals, schools, long-term care facilities, office buildings, hotels, retail shops and shopping malls. Public buildings place increased demands on fire protection. You can find out more about requirements, fire resistance classes and relevant standards here. Information on EGGER’s OSB Flammex can be found here.
How does Flammex help to increase building & project safety?
When used in entrance, waiting and hallway areas, Flammex flame-retardant materials assist in:
- Reducing flammability
- Slowing the spread of fire along surfaces, allowing more time for safe egress
- Extending the time until structural failure
- Reducing smoke development
EGGER flame-retardant product range
The Flammex range is divided into two product lines: Decorative Boards for visible interior design and structural boards for timber construction.
1. When exposed to heat, the intumescent agent in the barrier paper is activated
2. Creation of an insulating carbon foam
3. The foam protects the core material beneath from heat for a certain period of time
4. The fire development is slowed down – more time for evacuation and firefighting measures.

Why are corridors particularly critical?
Entrance, waiting and open areas, as well as corridors in busy buildings, often serve as escape routes. It takes an average of 10 to 15 minutes for the fire department to arrive at the scene of a fire. Especially at a time like this, it’s vital to prevent the flames from spreading. Flame-retardant products reduce flammability, slow the spread of fire along surfaces, extend the time until structural failure and reduce the development of smoke and toxic gases.
