To create a standard OSB panel, LP’s innovative manufacturing process combines wood strands oriented in cross-directional layers with waxes and resins. Then, to create LP® FlameBlock® panels, LP’s proprietary non-combustible, fiberglass-reinforced Pyrotite® treatment is added, which combines flame-spread and burn-through resistance. This creates a product that not only resists fire damage but meets code, provides design flexibility, and also offers the strength and structural integrity of traditional OSB panels.
