https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2025-02/Hammerhead FR Flame Retardant Composite Panel for Building _ Construction Product Overview.pdf
Flame-retardant technology uniquely embedded
into the panel materials provides robust and
durable fire performance without the need for
additional sheets or coatings.
KEY BENEFITS
• Lightweight: Significantly lighter than
traditional materials such as wood, drywall,
and framed wall assemblies, offering a
lightweight yet durable solution for easier
transport and installation, while maintaining
structural integrity
• Durability: Resistant to rot, moisture,
chemicals, UV, and corrosion, ensuring long-
lasting performance
• Efficiency: Consolidated structural panel
reduces labor and assembly time, maintaining
structural integrity throughout the installation
process
• Versatility: Can replace gypsum and drywall
in wall construction, offering strong adhesive
bonding properties and paintable surfaces
• Material Consolidation: Integrates flame
retardant properties and eliminates the
need for additional sheets or coatings for
fireproofing, simplifying the building process
• Highly Customizable: Avient offers a wide
range of custom size configurations and panel
options, allowing builders to meet specific
project needs
• Sustainability: FR technology is not
halogenated or phosphorus-based, and is made
with benign ingredients at low concentrations,
making it an environmentally friendly option

Fire time to ignition is increased while heat release
and fire spread are reduced, resulting in enhanced
fire safety for life and property.
STAYING COMPLIANT
With an increasing demand for fire safety, new fire-
related legislation and restrictions have become an
expectation.
Using Cesa Flame Retardant Additives
ensures that today’s stringent building safety codes
and other regulations are met.
