Flammex flame-retardant products
Schools, hospitals, hotels, shops, and other public institutions have higher needs for fire protection. EGGER flame retardant products meet the specifications of international standards. Flammex products are highly functional without limiting design flexibility.
Eurodekor chipboards, Compact Laminates with black panel core, and Laminates are available in Flammex quality in a large variety of decors.
Laminates Flammex
Flammex laminates are classified as type F = flame-retardant in accordance with the standard. They are suitable as a decorative and low-flammability coating material in combination with flame-retardant coreboards. Combinations with corresponding composite elements enable applications with increased requirements for fire resistance. They meet the requirements of the German building material class B1 and of the French reaction to fire class M1.
Applications:
- Areas with increased fire resistance requirements
- Furniture and interior design
- Shopfitting and trade fair construction
- Partition walls
- Interior doors
Advantages:
- Low flammability
- Low smoke generation
- No flaming droplets
- Resistant to wear, impact and scratches
- Antibacterial surface property in accordance with ISO 22196 (=JIS Z 2801)
Eurodekor Flammex E1 P2 CE
Eurodekor Flammex E1 P2 CE designates flame-retardant decorative melamine-resin-coated chipboard for furniture and interior design with increased requirements for fire behavior. Flammex boards meet the requirements of the European fire classification EUROCLASS B-s2, d0 according to EN 13501-1.
Applications:
- Furniture and interior design (e.g. partition walls, wall cladding) with increased requirements for fire behaviour.
Advantages:
- Low flammability (flame retardant)
- Low heat release
- Medium smoke production
- No flaming droplets
Compact laminate Flammex CE
The compact laminates Flammex CE look the same as the compact laminates with a black core. However, they are characterised by a significantly improved fire resistance and are classified as B-s2, d0 in accordance with EN 13501-1. With reduced ventilation, and substructure of low flammability or non-flammable substructure, the Flammex B CE compact laminates may even be classified and used as B-s1, d0.
Applications:
- Wall and ceiling claddings
- Trade fair construction
- Areas with increased fire resistance requirements
Advantages:
- Low flammability
- Moderate smoldering, non-dripping
- Resistant and durable
- Resistant to liquid cleaning agents / chemicals
- Moisture-resistant
- Hygienic and easy-to-clean
- Resistant to liquid cleaning agents / chemicals
- Antibacterial surface property in accordance with ISO 22196 (=JIS Z 2801)
Frequently Asked Questions
For gluing, flame retardant glues, such as resorcinol resin glues, must be used.
We do not give any specific recommendations or brand names for Flammex adhesive. This is something our customers should discuss with the adhesive suppliers, as they are the glue experts.
No. The effect of the fire protection additives remains in place. This is also absolutely necessary, as our products usually remain installed for several decades and their fire protection effect must be guaranteed at all times.
There are differences in the way they work. However, the chemical basis is always phosphate. Eurodekor Flammex already uses the new technology based on intumescent additives. Our compact laminates and laminates work with a condensation-based flame-retardant. An alternative mode of
action to the classical condensation base is necessary due to the small but concentrated amount of flame-retardant in the coating of Eurodekor Flammex.
It is correct that no additional flame-retardant is used in the board and therefore also not at the edging. The foaming of the flame-retardant substructure even closes butt joints to a certain extent for a short time. Therefore, no negative influence on the cross-section of the board is to be expected.
