Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyze combustion characteristics of treated woods by fire retardants which are prepared by several borate and phosphate compound solutions. The combustion characteristics for flame retardant treated wood were carried out using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) to measure their combustion heat and flame retardant test using cone-calorimeter. The result of TGA and flame retardant test showed that single chemical solution affected the char forming and flame delay. The mixed retardants solutions was believed to be related to the efficacy and property of single chemical. The retention value and concentration of the retardants also affected the performance of fire retardant treated woods. The fire retardants FR1 and FR2 satisfied the requirement of The 3 Grade of Korean building codes.
