Residential building trends are shifting toward engineered wood and more stringent safety standards. Hexion is investing to lead this transition, developing advanced fire-retardant (FR) solutions that help customers meet evolving codes, improve material performance, and scale with confidence.
At the center of this strategy is our growing portfolio of engineered wood solutions, supported by the expanding capabilities thanks to our joint venture with CitroTech Inc. Together, our technologies are designed to deliver consistent, high-performance fire resistance while maintaining structural integrity, manufacturability, and cost efficiency.
Intumescent technologies expand under extreme heat to form an insulating barrier that helps reduce heat transfer and delay structural failure.
Fire protection solutions designed for severe conditions help protect infrastructure in wildfire-prone and other high-risk environments.
Rely on performance proven through third-party validation and real-world burn conditions.
Support retrofit strategies and avoid costly system overhauls with protection applied directly to existing operational infrastructure.
Formulated to work within existing manufacturing processes, helping reduce disruption and accelerate adoption.
Deliver consistent fire protection while maintaining strength, durability, and long-term material integrity.
Hexion and CitroTech have formed a global joint venture to advance a new standard in fire-protected wood products—combining breakthrough fire-retardant chemistry with the scale and expertise needed for commercial adoption.
This next-generation platform enables built-in fire resistance for engineered wood products like OSB and plywood, helping manufacturers move beyond traditional pressure-treated approaches without compromising structural performance.
Validated through extensive testing and backed by industry-leading environmental and safety certifications, the CitroTech platform is designed to support safer, more sustainable construction while scaling to meet growing demand across residential and building markets.
