Abstract(s)
Wood and wood based products application in the construction is
growing due to the increasing trend of sustainable development. Because of the
EU policy about constructions, each time requiring improved products against
fire hazard, there is a need of developing fireproof products to wood and wood
based panels and know their life time behavior.
To evaluate the performance and durability of fire retarded wood based
panels, concerning mechanical and reaction to fire behavior, an experimental
study is done considering the long term behavior of wood based panels with and
without fire retardant products after being submitted to accelerated aging and
compared to non-aged wood based panels. Fire reaction was carried out through
cone calorimeter tests to evaluate if the fire reaction properties were maintained
or altered after exposure to environmental conditions.
