| Abstract: | Generally wood and wood based materials are combustible, easily ignitable, can propagate heat and flame spread, produce dense smoke in fires. These materials can be used in buildings as lining materials in spite of their inferior behaviour in fire.
To render them flame retardant, we studied & prepared a new chemical surface barrier which not only improves the flame redundancy of these materials but also makes them fire safe.
The paper uniquely focuses on the study of an effective chemical surface barrier / fire retardant after treatment and appropriate curing. It should provide better “reaction to fire” characteristics to Plywood in a building fire. Reaction to fire characteristics include: Fire Propagation Index and Heat release. An attempt is made here to compare the effectiveness of Heat release over fire propagation index. |
