Unique Technology to Bring a Simple Solution to Fire Resistance … Water
Blazeguard contains no less than two quarts of water per 4'x8' panel. The water is locked into the crystals of the thin ceramic coating that is applied onto plywood or OSB panels. The panels can be coated one- or two-sided. The water is released only during the heat of a fire. As the temperature rises during a fire, all the water is released.

During a fire, every second counts. That’s why you’ve got to have Blazeguard as your fire-rated roof and wall sheathing. Blazeguard adds more time during a fire because it resists burn-through and exceeds the 30-minute Class-A flame spread rating.

Unlike less effective chemically treated products, (e.g. FRT Plywood), Blazeguard experiences no side effects. No initial or long-term loss of structural strength. No negative environmental effects, and no special handling requirements.

So when you need a panel that’s tested and warranted for life, get Blazeguard. It’s the ideal choice for all types of construction – including multi-family residential, commercial buildings and critical environments like hospitals, schools, and nursing homes. Blazeguard is covered in ICC ESR-1365, ensuring code recognition nationwide wherever the International Building Code is being used to dictate building specifications.
