Creation of wood composite materials of reduced combustibility

The methods of reducing the combustibility of wood composite materials and the scientific foundations of their formation are considered. Methods of studying the mechanism of fireproof action, in particular chromatography, calorimetry, thermal analysis, is given an algorithm for the development of fire retardants with fire tests of model and standard samples, are given. Chemical research methods accompanying development are given, including elemental analysis, determination of the degree of consolidation of antipyrene in the structure of the plate as a forecast of durability, as well as the express determination of the toxicological properties of the created wood plates. Information is given on classification methods for determining the fire hazard of building materials, preparing standard test samples. All sections are accompanied by bibliography (137 sources), instrument schemes, graphs. It is intended for students of forestry and chemical-technological universities studying in the areas of training: "Chemical Technology", "Technology of forestry and wood-processing industries". It will turn out to be useful for engineering and scientific workers of the wooden and furniture industries and construction.
