BURNING CHARACTERISTICS OF FIRE-RETARDANT-TREATED WOOD UNEVENLY TREATED

Kinetic Models for Thermal Degradation of Strength of Fire-retardant-treated Wood

Several types of kinetics-based thermal degradation models were evaluated to predict strength loss of fire-retardant-treated wood as a function of cumulative thermal exposure. The data were taken from previous tests and reports on small, clear specimens of southern pine treated with six different fire-retardant chemicals and subjected to various durations of a steady-state exposure at different...

Fire-retardant Treatments for Wood

Performance Characterization of Coatings on Treated-wood

Coating performance is greatly influenced by the properties of the wood substrate. This study was focused on evaluating the performance of coatings on both preservative- and thermally-treated wood. A number of commercially formulated semi-transparent stains Alkyd, Alkyd-Acrylic and PU were applied on four different types of preservative treated and heat-treated wood and their performances were ...

The optimum level of nano-wollastonite consumption as fire-retardant in poplar wood (Populus nigra)

Fire-retarding properties of wollastonite nanofibers in poplar wood (Populus nigra) were studied here. Some physical properties such as water absorption, volumetric swelling and anti-swelling efficiency (ASE) were also measured. Specimens were prepared according to the ISO 11925 specifications for the fire-retarding properties and according to the ASTM D4446 -2002 specifications for th...
