Fire-safe material

Cellulose Wadding does not contribute to the development of fire thanks to the addition of boron salt (borate). It is as efficient as conventional wools covered with fiber glass veil.

In case of a fire, cellulose wadding reacts the same way as wood. A thick charcoal layer forms once the surface is on fire and since thermal conductivity of charcoal is not so high, the cellulose right below this layer is therefore protected against the temperature rise: cellulose smolders but is noncombustible and does not spread flames!

Further key considerations are to be taken into account in case of fire. First, cellulose wadding does not liquefy. Then, the fume release rate is very low. Last, there is no toxic gas emission.
