Congrats Nordtreat on First Portfolio EPDs

What Nordtreat just published

Nordtreat Finland Oy has three current Environmental Product Declarations focused on flame‑retardant treatment for wood. Two landed in October 2025, including a product‑family EPD for the NORFLAM series and a product‑specific EPD for NT DECO. These sit alongside an earlier NT DECO declaration from 2023 that remains current. Translation for specifiers is simple: family coverage for a portfolio, plus a named workhorse product.

What the EPDs cover

The scope centers on pH‑neutral, water‑based, low‑VOC flame retardants for interior and exterior wood applications that can help projects target Euroclass B‑s1,d0 outcomes when systems are designed correctly. One declaration covers the broader NORFLAM family, signaling multiple translucent tone options and use cases. Another focuses on NT DECO as a single product, ideal when a spec needs a direct one‑to‑one match.

Program operator

All three declarations are published with EPD Hub, a European program operator known for EN 15804 based reporting (EPD Hub overview). For buyers, a consistent operator helps with comparability across submissions and internal reviews.

Why this matters commercially

Teams chasing LEED v5 pathways and client carbon targets face penalties when product EPDs are missing. Product‑specific reporting gives cost planners and sustainability leads the confidence to keep flame‑retardant wood on the table instead of falling back to less designable materials. Less friction in submittals means fewer change orders and fewer last‑minute swaps. This are table stakes on public and large private bids in the Nordics and across Europe.

Competitive snapshot

• Burnblock ApS has a current EPD for a fire‑retardant formulation covering general use on wood. Good coverage in the same functional niche.
• Sioo Holding AB publishes multiple EPDs for wood protection systems. Adjacent performance, not primarily framed as flame retardancy.
• Wolman Wood and Fire Protection lists EPDs for industrial wood preservatives. Close chemical treatment category, different performance focus.

Net read for spec competitions is clear. Nordtreat now shows up with family and product‑level transparency where rivals either cover adjacent treatments or a single fire‑retardant chemistry. It closes a credibility gap against incumbents and makes value engineering less likely to remove these finishes late in design.

Quick company background

Nordtreat develops non‑toxic flame‑retardant finishes engineered for wood facades, interiors, and mass‑timber accessories. The portfolio targets predictable fire performance, clear or semi‑translucent aesthetics, and factory or site application. That mix resonates with architects who want warm timber expression without compromising compliance or clean indoor air.

Website visibility check

Nordtreat references EPDs on its Responsibility page and product pages, including NT DECO and the NORFLAM family (Responsibility, NORFLAM). If direct PDF links or registry page links are not yet centralized, placing them in a single, easy‑to‑find downloads hub would definately help estimators and sustainability teams pull documentation fast.

What this signals for buyers

October 2025 marks Nordtreat’s first portfolio‑level move on EPD transparency. With a family EPD plus a named product EPD, submittals become simpler, RFIs shrink, and carbon accounting gets cleaner. For project teams deciding between treated wood and more carbon‑intensive alternatives, the path to yes just got shorter.
