Abstract
The charring rate has been determined for specimen of pine (Pinus sylvestris) and oak (Quercus pedunculata) treated with two inorganic and organic chemicals, known in Poland as effective fire retardant. Received data were compared with data for untreated wood. It has been observed, that the charring rate was reduced by 15-24% for impregnated pine and 12-20% for impregnated oak (Ogniochron). The charring rate was reduced by 9-27% for Fireclear.
