Fire Rated Wood Door Cores

Imagine the possibilities of a flat panel wood door only 5/8" thick!

Goodrich Corporation and BASF have teamed to develop and certify a thin new fire core system to be used in fire rated architectural wood doors that meet the positive pressure requirement (UBC-7-2-97, UL-10C). Laminating BASF's Palusol® intumescent board, a respected inorganic insulation material used for years in positive pressure fire doors, with Goodrich's FyreRoc® fireproof composite, a new high temperature fire barrier material developed for use by the U.S. Navy, cores have been certified for up to 3'6" x 8'0" doors for both 60 and 90 minutes.

This continuous core system, using Goodrich FyreRoc® Fireproof Composite panels and BASF Palusol® Fire Protection panels, is only 5/8" thick enabling the fabrication of an architectural wood door that has the look and relief of a 1-¾" rail & stile door.

Our distributor, NGFL, will provide you with a 5/8" thick core panel with an HDF wood surface for ease of incorporation into the door manufacturing process. MDF or more dense materials may be used in the stiles, rails, and panels in any configuration.

These core systems carry the Warnock-Hersey registration. You must be licensed through ITS to use this system to produce fire labeled doors.

Palusol intemescent panels expand under heat exposure creating a foam that insulates the door from the heat of the fire.
FyreRoc fireproof panels are inflammable (do not burn), produce no smoke, no fumes, and do not contribute heat to a fire. Available in a variety of thicknesses and with carbon, glass, and stainless steel reinforcements.
After 90 minutes exposed to an ASTM E119 fire profile, the FyreRoc composite remains unburned with flaming only at the edges from the wood edge lipping.
At 5/8" thick, this 60 minute, positive pressure, fire rated wood door core allows the production of architectural fire doors that look exactly like a standard stile & rail wood door. At 5/8" thick, this 90 minute, positive pressure, fire rated wood door core allows the production of architectural fire doors that look exactly like a standard stile & rail wood door.
