Palonot F1: Tailored Fire Protection at Industrial Scale
Palonot F1 is our flagship product—a patented, industrial-grade fire retardant engineered specifically for wood-based construction materials. Based on over a decade of R&D, Palonot F1 offers a chemically safe, high-efficiency alternative to conventional fire retardants.
Unlike phosphate salts and borax-based solutions, Palonot F1:
- Preserves mechanical strength of wood
- Does not crystallize on the surface
- Reduces fungal, mould, and blue stain growth
- Maintains performance in humid or leaching conditions
- Works with multiple application methods: surface treatment, immersion, and pressure impregnation
Its formulation—rooted in ionic liquids and green chemistry principles—allows for high active ingredient density with minimal chemical usage, reducing environmental impact while maximizing fire protection.
Technical Performance
Key advantages of Palonot F1:
- B-s1,d0 classification with ease (EN 13501-1)
- Durability class DRF INT2 (EN 16755)
- E1 and M1 emission classes for indoor use
- No SVHC, no biocides, no air pollutants
- Shorter processing time, with many treated products requiring no drying before stacking
- Visually clean finish that retains the wood’s natural appearance
Application Areas
Palonot F1 can be effectively used in a wide variety of construction and industrial products:
- Plywood panels
- Interior and exterior claddings
- Load-bearing construction elements (CLT, LVL, glulam, roof trusses)
- Thermal and sound insulation (wood fiber, cellulose)
- Other wood-fiber based materials
