Abstract

This chapter presents the industrial approach to improve the fire resistance and fire safety of timber constructions. A comparison analysis of the efficiency of two types of fire protection of timber constructions based on surface and deep impregnation of timber by novel fire-retardant impregnation compositions and based on novel intumescent coatings from plant raw material is presented.

The method of modification of plant raw material and some physicochemical characteristics of product are presented. The effect of fire protection on charring parameters of wood species at standard fire regime is discussed.
