The development of a methodological approach to detecting the presence of flame retardants in building materials and products and finding their concentration is an essential part of the performance evaluation of flame retardants for timber. The above issue is a relevant constituent of supervision over fire safety compliance at construction facilities. Thermal analysis was used in this research project to (1) detect the presence of flame retardants in timber, and (2) identify methods of their application. Comparative experiments were conducted to detect the presence and effectiveness of flame retardants applied to the surface and inner layers of specimens of timber planken (façade board) at a construction facility. Relevant values, characterizing the thermal decomposition of timber specimens, enable predicting the heat flux rate that triggers ignition. A quick test, conducted to check the flammability of specimens, confirmed the authors’ hypothesis. The study revealed principal (relevant) thermo-analytical criteria for the fire resistance of timber impregnated with combustion retardants using different methods of impregnation. A methodological approach to studying relevant thermo-analytical characteristics was developed to evaluate the efficiency of (1) fire resistance of timber products and (2) fireproofing techniques. Flammability and combustibility of timber impregnated with fire retardants was prognosticated. It was revealed that the proposed methodology can monitor the efficiency of fireproofing applied to façade structures made of pine timber.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
