Revolutionizing Fire Safety with NoIgnis
Certified Fire Protection for Plywood Panels
At NoIgnis, we are proud to present groundbreaking results from recent fire safety testing conducted at a leading European fire institute. These tests, carried out in accordance with the EN 13823:2020 standard, confirm that our innovative fire-retardant treatment significantly enhances the fire resistance of plywood panels while maintaining minimal smoke emissions—an essential factor in life safety during fires.
Proven Effectiveness Through SBI Testing
The fire test was performed on ordinary pine plywood panels that had been treated in a vacuum chamber with NoIgnis fire-retardant technology by the Danish Technological Institute. Following this, the panels were dried under controlled conditions at approximately 30°C before being subjected to rigorous fire testing. The results?
-
Potential classification: A2/B (high fire resistance)
-
Smoke production: s1 (lowest level of smoke emission)
-
No flaming droplets or particles
-
No distortion or collapse of the specimen
The most striking outcome is the exceptionally low smoke emission, a crucial safety improvement, as smoke inhalation is the primary cause of fatalities in fires.

Unmatched Performance in Industrial Fire Suppression
The Test:
NoIgnis vs. Industrial Oil Fire
Fire safety is not just about controlling flames—it’s about saving lives, protecting the environment, and preventing catastrophic damage. In a recent controlled test at a professional fire training facility, NoIgnis demonstrated its groundbreaking capabilities by effectively extinguishing an industrial oil fire.
Under carefully controlled conditions, a large vat of industrial oil was intentionally ignited to simulate the intense, high-temperature fires often encountered in factories, refineries, shipyards, and heavy industries. These types of fires are notoriously difficult to control due to their ability to reignite and spread rapidly, making them a serious threat to workers, equipment, and the surrounding environment.
A professional firefighter conducted the suppression test using NoIgnis in foam format. The results were nothing short of remarkable:
-
Rapid Fire Knockdown – Within seconds of application, NoIgnis formed a stable protective layer over the burning oil, depriving it of oxygen and dramatically reducing the flames.
-
Efficient & Minimal Water Usage – Unlike conventional foam solutions that require large amounts of water and chemicals, NoIgnis works with significantly less, making it an environmentally friendly alternative.
-
Prevention of Reignition – Traditional fire suppression methods often struggle with reflash, but NoIgnis created a long-lasting barrier, ensuring the fire did not reignite.
Where Can NoIgnis Make a Difference?
Industrial oil fires can occur in a wide range of environments, including:
-
Manufacturing & Heavy Industry – Factories using large quantities of lubricants and fuel are vulnerable to flash fires. NoIgnis provides fast suppression, reducing downtime and damage.
-
Maritime & Offshore Installations – Oil spills and fuel-related fires are a constant hazard on ships and offshore platforms. NoIgnis can be deployed quickly, protecting crew and critical infrastructure.
-
Refineries & Fuel Depots – With flammable liquids stored in bulk, the risk of large-scale fires is immense. NoIgnis offers superior control, reducing the need for excessive firefighting resources.*
-
Transport & Logistics – Truck stops, fuel stations, and airports often handle highly combustible liquids. NoIgnis ensures rapid response, preventing escalation.
-
Environmental & Wildlife Protection – Many traditional firefighting foams contain toxic chemicals that contaminate soil and water. NoIgnis is eco-friendly and biodegradable, making it ideal for protecting both nature and wildlife from hazardous spills.
A Safer, More Sustainable Future
With NoIgnis foam technology, we are redefining fire suppression, ensuring maximum efficiency with minimal environmental impact. Whether it’s an industrial emergency or a large-scale oil spill fire, NoIgnis provides a fast, effective, and safe solution.
A Game-Changer for Fire-Safe Construction
With these successful test results, NoIgnis-treated plywood panels are now a viable fire-safe alternative for various construction applications. Whether for interior design, commercial buildings, or public spaces, this technology provides an effective and environmentally responsible solution to meet stringent fire safety regulations across Europe.
