Abstract
Many contractors have reported that the fire retardant treated (FRT) plywood they are using is delaminating and separating on the roof. The American Plywood Assn (APA) has also noted this problem and has addressed the issue in its Management Bulletin No. T-180, which is signed by Thomas S. Flin, APAs director, Technical Services. Because of the seriousness of this matter, all contractors should be aware of the contents of APAs bulletin. To get the word out we asked for and received APAs permission to reprint the document in full. The following is the tests of the bulletin.
