Contra-Burn is a non-toxic, water-based product that effectively blocks the supply of oxygen in the fire-threatened material. In this way Contra-Burn halts the burning process, just as it can counteract the ignition of treated plywood and timber. Contra-Burn treated plywood is approved to the highest classification according to the Euroclass system for building products, making it the perfect solution for most building projects.

Contra-Burn treated materials can be used for exterior cladding, wood constructions in multi-store buildings, fitting solutions, interior wall and floor constructions.
