Long lasting
The ageing tests required by CE marking demonstrated that resists to cycle sof 1000 hours of full exposure to sun and rain, equivalent to more than 30 years in close environments, without reducing fire protection performance.
Fully certified
Only a certification system, based on regular production controls made by a third party, grants that every single drum of product has the required performance.
AITHON PV33 quality is granted by two different certification systems: CE marking and Certifire.

Fire Resistance
Protecting timber structures up to 60 minutes
Fire resistance test the timber beam is completely wrapped into the insulating char layer generated by AITHON PV33.
AITHON PV33 at ambient temperature is just a perfectly transparent varnish, with a natural wax-like finish.
In a fire it reacts, generating a thick layer of carbon char, up to 4mm thick, able to withstand heat above 1000 degrees C, protecting timber structures up to 60 minutes.
