Keto Ply manufactures pressure impregnated fire retardant plywood at Yamunanagar and supplies it across Palanpur to Banaskantha institutional projects, Deesa and Dhanera commercial work and the Ambaji hospitality belt, in 4 mm to 25 mm boards.
IS 5509 | BWR Bonded | 4 mm to 25 mm
Palanpur sits on the Ahmedabad to Abu Road corridor and functions as the commercial centre for Banaskantha, which means dairy and agri infrastructure, trading offices, hotels serving the Ambaji pilgrimage route and a steady flow of institutional building. Assembly occupancies like dharamshalas and banquet halls carry real fire load, and North Gujarat's dry heat makes the timber in them drier and quicker to ignite than the same panel on the coast. 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 Palanpur, Deesa, Dhanera, Tharad and Ambaji 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 Palanpur contractors, architects and turnkey joinery firms 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 the extreme dry summers of the Banaskantha belt, where low humidity and 45 degree heat shrink and crack MR grade boards.
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 Palanpur, plus dealership openings across Banaskantha and the Abu Road corridor.
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.
