Arreis FR is a sustainable Class 1 flame retardant medium density fiberboard (MDF) panel manufactured from 100% recycled wood waste, meeting the most stringent formaldehyde emission standards in the world. SierraPine’s patented manufacturing process utilizes a formaldehyde-free adhesive system to produce Arries FR. During processing an additive is blended with the fibers to provide flame-retardant properties throughout the board. Unlike surface flame retardant coatings, the flame retardant properties of Arreis FR aren’t compromised when the panel is machined or sanded. Arreis FR is the ideal product for interior applications that require a certified Class 1 product and where certain indoor air quality requirements are specified.

Features & Benefits

Awarded CARB NAF Exemption due to formaldehyde-free adhesive system. Class 1 certified MDF with performance characteristics comparable to standard MDF. Meets CARB ATCM 93120 Phase 2 emission limits core is dyed red for easy identification of fire retardant panel. FSC certified panels available.

Handling & Installation

Store indoors on a flat, level surface with adequate support to prevent sagging. For best results, Medite® FR should be conditioned to the final environment 48-72 hours prior to installation. Readily accepts and holds hardware including staples, screws and other fasteners. It is recommended to pre-drill pilot holes not less than 1” from the edge on the face of the panel, or 2+1/2” from the corners when used in the edge of the panel before fastening with hardware. Additionally, hardware should be spaced at least 6” apart to reduce the risk of splitting.

Limitations

Arreis FR is not suitable for external or structural applications.

How to Specify

Industrial Grade Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF),manufactured with a formaldehyde-free adhesive system and certified as a Class 1 Flame Retardant panel in accordance with ASTM E84-07 and CAN/ULC-S102 to a Flame Spread of 20 and Smoke Developed of 100. New York City approved MEA 357-98-M.

Painting/Laminating

When choosing a coating or laminate system, confirm compatibility of the paint, laminate or adhesive with the respective manufacturer and ensure the Class 1 flame spread classification of the Arreis FR panel will not be adversely affected. NOTE: Retardant additive may cause adhesion problems when using adhesives containing poly vinyl alcohol. Contact Sierra Pine for adhesive recommendations.

Spec Sheet - Material Safety Data Sheet

SierraPine flame retardant Encore™ FR is a particleboard made with no added urea formaldehyde and is designed for critical applications where Class 1 flame retardant material is required. Encore FR has a low flame spread and smoke development as well as extremely low VOC emissions. During the manufacturing process, the flame retardant additive is blended with the fiber throughout the panel. This process delivers superior performance versus topical flame retardant applications.  In addition, Encore FR can be machined, cut, sanded, and grooved without compromising the flame retardance.
