Advance Ply Gold FR is IS 5509 certified fire retardant plywood with IS 303 boiling water resistant (BWR) grade performance. It is specifically manufactured for projects where fire safety compliance is a regulatory or contractual requirement.
Gold FR is specified by architects for hotels, hospitals, schools, shopping malls, corporate offices, high-rise residential buildings, and any commercial space governed by Indian fire safety regulations. It resists flame penetration and delays the spread of fire, providing additional evacuation time in the event of a fire.
Every Gold FR sheet is manufactured with Nano Alumina treatment and Nano Flame Guard coating, combined with HEXAPRO technology for structural strength and dual CCB chemical treatment for life-long termite and borer protection.
