PRODUCT INFORMATION
Raw chipboard panels B 1 (EN 312-P2)
As core and construction materials, chipboard panels are today indispensable in furniture
manufacture and interior design. Their great versatility and good processing properties are
just two of the many reasons why chipboard panels have become the most important
wood-based material in terms of volume.
* Certified to EN 13986
Certificates apply only in combination with a valid delivery note
PRODUCTION OF RAW CHIPBOARD PANELS
Chipboard panels are produced using waste from forest-grown
timber, sawmill residues and to a certain extent clean and uncontaminated
recycled timber. These consist mainly of softwoods (spruce,
pine) and to a lesser extent (< 10 %) hardwoods from sustai nable
forestry certified according to the PEFC system. By means of
chopping, cutting and milling, the wood is turned into chips of a
particular shape and size. These chips are fed through a chip-dryer
before being separated into groups of different sizes. The dried
chips are then mixed with low-formaldehyde E1 resins and shaped
into a slab, which is then compressed under pressure and heat. This
is followed by the processing stages of conditioning, grading and
sanding.
The end-product is a material with stable and consistent characteristics, good processing properties, an
excellent strength-to-weight ratio and attractive value for money.
Further benefits of chipboard panels:
• a favourable energy balance
• production using renewable raw materials
• and recycling capability
PFLEIDERER carries out production at several locations in Germany. Consistently high quality is ensured
by the latest production technology, electronic production monitoring and certification to ISO 9001.

Pyroex B1 – the flame-retardant material
B2 (normally inflammable),
except for Pyroex B1 (low inflammability)
Outside monitoring of production by the WKI (Fraunhofer Society Braunschweig) and Wood-based Materials Quality
Association.
Pyroex B1 is a flame-retardant wood-based material (construction material class DIN 4102-B 1) with the
classification B-s1, d0 to DIN EN 13501-1. The Pyroex B1 panel combines all the advantages of a chipboard
panel (high strength, outstanding durability, easy processing properties, versatile decorative laminating
capabilities) with additional safety in the event of fire. The addition of flame-retardant agents reduces
the combustion rate of the raw chipboard panels, significantly increasing the fire-resistance. With the aid
of Pyroex B1 panels, the so-called “flash-over point”, i.e. the time until the full development of the fire, can
be delayed, and the fire even prevented in some cases. The primary application areas of Pyroex B1 panels
include interior panelling of rooms in public buildings, halls, meeting areas, cinemas and theatres, as well
as rooms subject to a high risk of fire (laboratories, petrol station sales areas, TV studios).
