Mechanism of Fire Retarding Wood Products
• Fire retardants in wood work through two primary mechanisms. The
first is reduction of wood flammability by reducing flame travel
rate, thereby slowing down the combustion process. Secondly, the
chemicals reduce the rate which heat is released from the wood
during a fire. The fire retardants alter the vapors released during
the combustion process by making them less volatile.
