Phosphorylated cellulose can be an intrinsic flame retardant and a promising alternative for
halogenated fire inhibitors. In this study, the mixture of di-ammonium hydrogen phosphate …

This work focuses on the changes in the chemical composition of wood caused by
impregnation with fire retardants such as guanidine carbonate (GC), urea (U), diammonium …

The flammability of cellulosic material restricts its use in insulation and packaging
applications. This study examined carbon-based additives to protect cellulose paper against …

Of late, the number of fire cases in Malaysia has been steadily increasing at a very alarming
rate. One way to reduce the ability of fire ignition or spreading is by coating or doping the …

Firestops have been widely applied to protect nonstructural service elements which
penetrate fire resistant barriers to maintain the effectiveness of the overall fire separation …

This paper presents the results of research on the influence of the components of salt flame
retardants on the compressive strength of wood depending on the time of accelerated aging …

Woods are easy to ignite by fire. Increasing fire resistance with fire retardants is needed to
increase safety and reduce losses due to fire. This research aimed to determine the fire …

Corner fires are known to spread more intensely in comparison to single wall fires. In view of
the challenges associated with the prediction of such fire behavior, the fire growth in a …

Despite a large amount of data on innovative fire protection technologies for wood and
lignocellulosic materials, the primary trend is creating fire retardant preparations using …
