Abstract

An issue related to using inorganic salts for fire protection of wood is to ensure their flame-inhibiting ability and compatibility with wood and application technology. That is why the object of research was to establish the effectiveness of inhibitory properties of mixtures of inorganic salts during interaction with the flame and enabling interplay with wood. A synergistic increase in the inhibitory capacity of mixtures of aqueous solutions of salts of diammonium phosphate and ammonium sulfate at a ratio of 2:1, and for a mixture based on orthophosphoric acid, urea, and oxyethylidenediphosphonic acid in the concentration range of 20–25 % by mass, has been proven. During the interaction of the specified mixtures with the wood surface, it was found that after application to the wood surface, the dispersed component of the free energy of the wood surface decreased to zero; instead, the polar component increased 13 times, which indicates a change in the wood surface. During the tests of wood samples on the effect of the burner flame, it was found that the untreated sample ignited on second 53, and the flame spread throughout the sample for 102 s. On the other hand, the samples treated with a mixture of an aqueous solution of phosphate and ammonium sulfate, as well as a mixture of aqueous solutions based on orthophosphoric acid and urea and oxyethylidenediphosphonic acid, did not catch fire, the flame did not spread over the surface, and the flammability index was 0. The practical significance is that the results were taken into account when designing flame retardant compositions for wood. Thus, there are reasons to assert the possibility of targeted regulation of wood protection processes through the use of mixtures of inorganic salts capable of forming a protective layer on the surface of the material that inhibits the burning of wood
