# Understanding Fire Retardant Treated Wood
> In this webinar, Travis Hixon from Koppers breaks down the essentials of Fire Retardant Treated Wood (FRTW)—a code-driven product category critical to building safety and compliance.
In this webinar, Travis Hixon from Koppers breaks down the essentials of Fire Retardant Treated Wood (FRTW)—a code-driven product category critical to building safety and compliance. Learn how FRTW works, when and why it is required by building codes, and how flame-retardant formulations enhance fire resistance in wood construction.
## What you'll learn
* What Fire Retardant Treated Wood (FRTW) is and how it works
* Code requirements that mandate the use of FRTW in buildings
* Flame retardant formulations and how they affect wood performance
* Applications and use cases for FRTW in modern construction
* Key distinctions between fire resistance and flame retardancy
