FIRE RETARDANT PERFORMANCE OF SUGI AND HINOKI TREATED WITH PHOSPHORUS AND NITROGEN FIRE RETARDANT

Abstract

In this paper, ammonium phosphate polymer (APP), guanidinium phosphate urea (GUP), phosphonic acid, and a small number of additives that confer flame retardant properties were prepared as a new composite flame retardant. Cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) and hinoki (Chamaecyparis obtuse) penetrate and absorb the solution into the inner wall of the wood by vacuum pressurization, thus obtaining fire-retardant woods. The flame retardant effectsat different absorption amounts were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis and cone calorimetry.The absorption amounts of both kinds of wood above 0.095 g.cm-3and 0.085g.cm-3respectively, met the flame retardant standard ISO-5660-1: 2015. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the fire-retardant-treated wood increased thermal stability, accelerated carbonization, and lower the decomposition temperature to below 300°C.
