Overview

SASCO® CHAR FR-534 is a fire-retardant additive for engineered wood/composite panel products. Supplied as a high solids content colloidal fluid, SASCO® CHAR FR-534 can be spray applied onto wood fibers, chips, or strands near the blending/refiner stage.

SASCO® CHAR FR-564 is covered by the United States Patent No. US 11,015,081.

Application

  • Typical active basis application dosage is about 15% by weight of the total wood panel being produced. SASCO® CHAR FR-534 is best administered using positive displacement pumps such as rotary lobe pumps, progressive cavity pumps, or air-diaphragm pumps. Upon sitting undisturbed for extended periods, the colloidal dispersion forms a thixotropic gel; however, low-shear remixing will return the product to its original viscosity.
  • Laboratory evaluations are recommended to ensure proper application levels and compatibility with other chemicals and substrates.
