Comparison of Flame Retardant Performance between WPC Doors And Traditional Doors

In modern architecture and interior decoration, flame retardant performance has become an important indicator to measure the safety level of door products. With the widespread application of environmentally friendly building materials, WPC doors have gradually been accepted by the market and replaced traditional wooden doors in large quantities. This article will focus on the differences between WPC doors and traditional wooden doors in flame retardant performance, providing a reference for project material selection.

Basic composition and flame retardant properties of WPC doors

WPC doors are a new type of composite door made of wood powder and polymer resin as the main raw materials through extrusion or molding. Its structure is uniform and dense, and special flame retardants can be added during the production process to give the product good fire resistance.

Compared with traditional wooden doors, the material of WPC doors itself is not easy to support combustion. When exposed to high temperatures, its surface carbonizes but does not burn quickly, and does not produce a lot of toxic smoke. This performance is especially suitable for spaces with high fire protection requirements, such as hotels, hospitals, offices, etc.

Combustion characteristics of traditional wooden doors

Traditional wooden doors are mostly made of solid wood or artificial boards, the main component of which is cellulose, which is highly flammable. Under the action of fire sources, it is easy to burn quickly and produce high temperatures and thick smoke, increasing the risk of fire spread and hindering personnel evacuation and rescue.

In addition, even if some wooden doors use surface fire retardant coatings, the overall structure is still difficult to fully meet the requirements of building flame retardant specifications, especially when used in high-rise buildings or confined spaces, there are great safety hazards.

Comparison results of flame retardant performance

Comprehensive comparison shows that WPC doors have stronger flame suppression and delayed combustion capabilities due to the controllability of their raw materials and the addition of flame retardants. Traditional wooden doors are prone to combustion under high temperature conditions and have a low safety factor.

Therefore, considering the safety and service life of buildings, the advantages of WPC doors in fire resistance are becoming more and more obvious, and they are suitable for replacing wooden doors for projects with clear requirements for fire resistance levels.

Recommendations for material selection suitable for engineering applications

For public buildings, schools, medical institutions, high-rise residential buildings and other places, it is recommended to give priority to WPC door products with flame retardant performance of B1 or above. On the basis of ensuring flame retardant performance, WPC doors also have the characteristics of moisture-proof, mildew-proof, non-cracking, and paint-free, which helps to reduce the cost of later maintenance.
