Effect of Protective Coatings on Wooden Elements Exposed to a Small Ignition Initiator
Source abstract
Abstract
This paper presents the results of monitoring the behaviour of selected wood species exposed to a small ignition initiator. We specifically aimed to investigate the effect of retardant coating on the combustion process of the wood species spruce (Picea abies), red spruce (Larix decidua), Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.), beech (Fagus sylvatica), and oak (Quercus robur) when exposed to a small initiator of ignition. At the same time, we studied the effect of different types of fungicidal agents (based on N-(3-aminopropyl)-N-dodecylpropane-1,3-diamine; alkyl (C12–16) dimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride or 3-iodo-prop-2-inylbutylcarbamate) on the effectiveness of a flame retardant (containing ferric phosphate) applied to the selected fungicide-treated wood samples. The experimentally obtained mass-loss and flame-spread results were statistically evaluated using the QtiPlot software program. A significant dependence of mass loss and surface flame spread on wood species was the primary focus. It was only confirmed for the surface-flame-spread variable. The dependence of the effect of fungicide treatment on the effectiveness of the selected retardant was confirmed. Fungicidal coatings with the active ingredient alkyl/benzyl (C12–16) dimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride indicated the lowest mass loss rate and flame spread for all wood samples.
