Xuzhou Nina Plywood Co., Ltd. Launches Innovative B1 Fire-Retardant Birch Plywood to Meet Global High-Safety Construction & Manufacturing Demands
Subheadline: New premium-grade plywood combines industry-leading fire resistance, weatherproof performance, and environmental compliance for diverse commercial and residential applications
XUZHOU, China – March 7, 2026
Xuzhou Nina Plywood Co., Ltd., a leading Chinese manufacturer and global supplier of high-performance plywood solutions, today announced the official launch of its new B1-class fire-retardant birch plywood. Developed to address the growing global demand for fire-safe, eco-friendly, and high-strength wood panels, this new product line delivers exceptional performance for construction, furniture manufacturing, and specialized interior fit-out projects, with full compliance to international quality and safety standards.
R&D Innovation: Built for Global Safety & Performance Requirements
The development of the B1 fire-retardant birch plywood is the result of months of focused R&D by Xuzhou Nina Plywood’s in-house technical team, leveraging the company’s decades of expertise in plywood production and material science. Recognizing the increasingly stringent fire safety regulations in construction and interior design markets worldwide, as well as customers’ growing preference for sustainable, high-performance wood materials, the R&D team optimized the fire-retardant formula, substrate selection, and production process to achieve a perfect balance of fire resistance, mechanical strength, and environmental performance.
This new product aligns with the company’s long-standing culture of customer-centric innovation: every stage of R&D was guided by real-world project needs from global clients, solving core pain points around fire code compliance, material durability, and processing efficiency.
Product Specifications & Core Performance Advantages
The new B1 fire-retardant birch plywood is available in two industry-standard dimensions to meet global customer needs: 2440mm x 1220mm (4ft x 8ft) and 2500mm x 1250mm. Manufactured with premium select birch veneers, the panel features a uniform, dense structure, excellent surface flatness, and superior bending and impact strength, making it ideal for precision machining and custom fabrication to match client drawings and specifications.
At the core of the product’s performance is its Phenolic-WBP (Weather and Boil Proof) adhesive system, compliant with E1 environmental standards. This high-grade phenolic resin delivers exceptional bonding strength, water resistance, and weather durability, ensuring the panel maintains its structural integrity even in high-humidity or outdoor-facing environments, with zero delamination risk. The E1-grade formaldehyde emission rating meets the strictest global environmental regulations, guaranteeing low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and a safe indoor environment for end users.
Rigorous Testing & Quality Assurance
Prior to its official launch, the new B1 fire-retardant birch plywood underwent rigorous testing in accredited third-party laboratories, as well as the company’s in-house quality control center. The product has successfully achieved B1 classification according to the EN 13501-1:2018 European standard for fire reaction of construction products, verifying its excellent flame-retardant, smoke-suppression, and drip-resistant properties, which effectively slow the spread of fire and reduce safety risks in enclosed spaces.
In addition to fire performance, the product has passed comprehensive tests for bonding strength, dimensional stability, mechanical performance, and formaldehyde emission, fully complying with EN 314-2, EN 13986, and other international plywood standards. Every batch of production will follow strict quality control protocols, from raw material selection to finished product inspection, to ensure consistent, reliable performance for every customer – a core tenet of Xuzhou Nina Plywood’s corporate culture of quality excellence.
Global Market Rollout & Target Applications
Xuzhou Nina Plywood has officially rolled out a full global market promotion strategy for the new B1 fire-retardant birch plywood, covering targeted markets in Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Oceania, and North America.

- High-end custom furniture, cabinetry, and joinery
- Hospitality, retail, and public space fit-outs
