Özet

The effects of fire retardants paint on combustion properties of fir (Abies bornmulleriana M.) were examined. For this purpose, fire retardants paint were applied on the surface of test sample according to company's suggestions. The combustion test was performed according to the ASTM-E 69 standard. The mass reduction, release of gasses (CO, NO, O-2), and temperature differences of samples were determined for each 30 seconds during combustion. It was observed that the highest mass reduction occurred in fir wood with fire retardant paint.
