The exterior application of fire-retardant (FR) timber necessitates it to have high durability
because of the possibility to be exposed to rainfall. In this study, water-leaching resistance of …

Wood is a commonly used material in construction. However, its application is limited due to
its flammability. Modification of wood with phenol-formaldehyde resin (PF) can improve …

Aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of aluminium hydroxide and borates, separately
or combined with ammonium polyphosphate (APP), upon the technological and fire …

Wood modification with thermosetting resins results in improved dimensional stability and
durability. However, the treatment does not enhance fire resistance. To address this, Scots …

Heat release rate (HRR) is the principal fire characteristic of materials. There are three
known methods for the measurement of HRR (based on oxygen consumption, mass loss …

This study deals with heat of combustion of selected fast-growing woods. The study also
investigates the impact of heat flux on fire risk of the selected fast-growing woods. The hybrid …

Wood modification has been explored in various ways to enhance dimensional stability and
reduce flammability, with a focus on environmentally friendly treatments to meet market …

During the last decades the CFD computer modelling of fire has increased significantly. The
CFD fire simulator has been purposely developed and optimized for fire protection; …

Fire protection of timber structures and finishing structural materials is actual due to the high
combustibility of these materials. The technical characteristics for protected timber structures …

The synergistic effect of hierarchically porous zeolites on the fire retardancy and fire toxicity
of ammonium polyphosphate (APP) treated wood composites was studied in this work …
