- Abstract
- Currently used fire retardant coatings for wood products reduce flame spread; they are not designed specifically to provide fire resistance. Fire resistive coatings designed for steel and foam plastics generally are not recommended for wood. Small nonload-bearing fire resistance tests were conducted in this study to determine the fire resistance of eight commercially available fire retardant and fire resistive coatings when applied to a wood product.
