Keto Ply manufactures pressure impregnated fire retardant plywood at Yamunanagar and supplies it across Ahmedabad to SG Highway commercial towers, Prahlad Nagar and Bopal residential work and Naroda and Vatva industrial offices, in 4 mm to 25 mm boards.
IS 5509 | BWR Bonded | 4 mm to 25 mm
Ahmedabad's commercial spine along SG Highway and the residential build-out through Bopal, Shela and Gota have made the AMC and AUDA fire NOC a routine gate on handover. Offices, showrooms and high rise lobbies here are specified with fire consultants involved from the drawing stage, and the panel that goes into corridors, shafts and common areas has to be able to show test credentials rather than a supplier's assurance. Keto Ply fire retardant plywood is treated by pressure impregnation before pressing, so the retardant chemistry sits inside the veneer rather than on top of it. Sanding, cutting and edge banding on site do not remove the protection.
Flammability, flame penetration and rate of burning checks are run on production batches before the consignment is dispatched.
Chemistry impregnated right through the veneer, so cutting and sanding on site never exposes untreated wood underneath.
Direct dispatch to SG Highway, Prahlad Nagar, Bopal, Maninagar and Naroda sites, with delivery scheduled against the site programme.
Every Keto Ply panel carries the brand's borer, fungus and anti-termite guarantee in writing.
Six things Ahmedabad architects, PMCs and turnkey contractors check before a panel goes into a fire clearance drawing, and how Keto FR plywood answers each one.
Request a Sample BoardRetardant salts are driven into the veneer under pressure before pressing, so the board resists ignition through its full section instead of only at the face.
Once the flame source is removed, treated veneers char instead of continuing to burn. That is the mechanism behind the IS 5509 flammability and rate of burning criteria.
Boiling water resistant bonding holds the glue line through 45 degree summers and the humidity spike of the monsoon, a cycle that opens up MR grade boards in Ahmedabad wardrobes and panelling within a few years.
The same treatment cycle carries the Keto Ply anti-termite and anti-fungus guarantee, so one panel handles both fire and biological protection.
Kiln plus air seasoning and calibrated sanding hold thickness within IS tolerance, so laminate and veneer lay flat across large wall panels and shutters.
Supplied from the Yamunanagar unit with dealer and project pricing for Ahmedabad, plus dealership openings across the Gandhinagar and Sanand belt.
Acceptance values laid down in IS 5509 (Fire Retardant Plywood - Specification), tested as per IS 1734 (Part 3).
| Test | Method | Requirement | What it means on site |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flammability | IS 1734 (Part 3) | Second ignition not before 30 minutes | The panel resists re-ignition through half an hour of direct exposure. |
| Flame Penetration | IS 1734 (Part 3) | Minimum 15 minutes for every 6 mm thickness | A 12 mm board resists burn through for roughly 30 minutes. |
| Rate of Burning | IS 1734 (Part 3) | 30% to 70% weight loss in not less than 20 minutes | Combustion proceeds slowly, which buys evacuation time. |
| Bonding / Adhesion | IS 303 - BWR Grade | Pass | Boiling water resistant glue line, required for treatability. |
These are the published IS 5509 acceptance criteria for fire retardant plywood. The lot specific third party test certificate is issued with every project consignment.
