Improvement of method of determining fireproof properties of coating and wood treatment quality

Development of composition formulations, based on natural bischofite, to protect wood from fire

“…The loss of fire resistance and bearing capacity of wood structures is predetermined by the process of charring of wood, which occurs after heating the wood above a temperature of thermal decomposition, close to the temperature of its ignition. The result of fire protection of structures made of wood is, on the one hand, the cases of fire that may occur are prevented, and, on the other hand, that in the event of a fire the period between the moment of its occurrence and a structure collapse is prolonged [4]. One of the tasks in the development of fireproof wood impregnation is to achieve a high flame-retardant effectiveness.…”

“…Widely applied are the methods for treating timber structures directly at construction sites [4]. In this case, the environmental safety of constructed facilities and municipal infrastructure is associated with a wide spectrum of issues concerning protection of people from real or potentially negative influences exerted by utilized urban facilities [7].…”

“…In modern construction, there is an increasingly intensive search for new highly effective means to protect wood from fire. Wood, a widespread building material, must undergo the appropriate fireproof treatment [3,4], required by fire regulations and rules for such facilities [5].…”
