Exterior-use timber in multi-storey buildings requires durable fire-retardancy and biological resistance due to its exposure to environmental conditions involving direct water contact. Limited research has been demonstrated regarding whether a …
Fire retardant treated (FRT) timber can be produced by impregnation under high pressure with aqueous guanyl-urea phosphate (GUP) and BA (Gao et al., 2006). However, neither GUP nor BA is …
It has been suggested that the leachability of the water-borne fire-retardants (FRs) guanylurea phosphate (GUP)/boric acid (BA) in treated wood could be reduced with the help of melamine formaldehyde (MF) …
The study revealed that introduction of the UV absorber to the fire-retardant resin modified wood enhanced the colour stabilisation because the brownish colour contribution from the lignin was partially stabilized …
