Finnforest has launched the Phoenix plywood panel to provider greater fire protection in the railway industry.

The product, aimed at the railway interiors sector, is a composite panel made of birch plywood, a sound reduction material and an aluminium combination coating.

The PEFC-certified panel, which has been tested to French and Spanish fire standards, is manufactured in 4-45mm thicknesses.

Phoenix will be displayed at the Railway Interiors Expo 2011 in Cologne on November 15-17.
