Leveraging Advanced Technology

A victory for health, safety, and sustainability, Formawall's new foam insulation formula now contains zero halogens, while improving the wall system's fire performance. And CENTRIA did it without any additives that may be harmful to people or the environment.

Plus, Formawall comes with a Health Product Declaration, offering the reassurance of full product and material transparency for your next project.

Same Top Performance

Of course, any reformulation of Formawall's core must also prove equal to its predecessor in a host of other key performance categories. These include, structural; impact and blast resistance; and most importantly, Formawall's legendary Advanced Thermal and Moisture Protection (ATMP®) technology. CENTRIA confirms that these other critical performance criteria remain equal.

Enhanced Fire Protection

CENTRIA Formawall, with its new halogen-free insulating foam core, easily passes the proposed updated NFPA 285 fire test.

In fact, CENTRIA surpassed the current required protocols for the NFPA 285 complete wall assembly test to simulate real-world applications of the Formawall system with features such as flashings or extrusions, variable striations, multiple reveal configurations, varying widths, vertical gaskets, and the Formawall insulated metal vertical (IMV) joint. This ensures that your next project is tried and tested — regardless of the panel application or design parameters

What's more, every Formawall panel passes the new standard without the aid of fire-resistant interior gypsum — regardless of panel thickness, orientation, depth of reveal, finish, vertical joint type, or profile shape — with both steel tube and steel stud construction.

For architects and owners, this means you can specify any Formawall product – for buildings of any height or application — and know that your decision is helping to enhance life safety.
