Abstract
The article analyzes fire-resistant materials for wooden building structures and establishes the need to develop reliable methods of researching the process of washing out flame retardants from the surface of the building structure, which are necessary for the creation of new types of fire-resistant materials. Therefore, there is a need to determine the conditions for the formation of a barrier for leaching and to establish a mechanism for inhibiting the transfer of moisture to the material. In this regard, a mathematical model of flame retardant leaching has been developed, when a polymer shell made of organic material is used as a coating, which allows evaluating the effectiveness of the polymer shell based on the amount of flame retardant washed out. According to experimental data and theoretical dependences, the dynamics of release of flame retardants from the fire-resistant layer of the coating, which does not exceed 1.0%, is calculated, and accordingly provides fire protection of wood. The results of determining the loss of mass of the sample during exposure to water indicate an ambiguous effect of the nature of the protection on leaching. In particular, this assumes the availability of data sufficient for qualitatively carrying out the process of inhibiting moisture diffusion and identifying, on its basis, the moment in time when the decline in coating efficiency begins. Experimental studies have confirmed that a sample of fire-resistant wood after exposure to water for 30 days withstood the influence of heat flow. In particular, the loss of wood mass after temperature exposure was less than 6%, and the temperature of flue gases did not exceed 185 ºС. Thus, there are reasons to assert the possibility of targeted regulation of wood fire protection processes through the use of polymer coatings capable of forming a protective layer on the surface of the fire retardant material, which inhibits the rate of flame retardant leaching.
