An Investigation of the Combustion of Fire-Protected Wooden Materials Modified with Polymer Fireproofing Agents

Abstract

Certain questions of the fire protection of wooden structural materials, chipboard, and binding agents are examined. The mechanisms of chemical fire protection and the kinetic laws governing the process of thermal breakdown of modified specimens are clarified. On the basis of using the latest fire test methods, the combustion and thermal degradation regimes of wooden materials have been established. The advantages of polymeric fireproofing agents over low-molecular weight analogues are shown.
