Regency Fire Retardant Ply conforms to requirements of IS:5509. It is treated with special fire retardant chemicals such as diammonium hydrogen phosphate, at the time of manufacture. The addition of fireproofing chemicals, gives the plywood better fire proofing qualities such as,
Thickness usually ranges from 4 mm to 18 mm, while standard size sheets such as 8' x 4' are commonly used.
