Abstract

This study aimed to determine the amount of flame retardant for semi-combustible performance required to comply with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport Notice 2023-24 for hinoki cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa) plywood, which is commonly used as a building material. A cone calorimeter was used to observe the changes in the total heat release (THR) depending on the solid content of the flame-retardant impregnation (SCFI). The relationship between the SCFI and THR was expressed as an exponential function. The solid content of the flame-retardant impregnation required to meet the prescribed standard of 8.0 MJ/m² was 108 kg/m³ (semi-combustible performance standards) for hinoki cypress plywood.
