Fire Protection of Wood Using a Coating Based on Sodium Silicate and Biochar
摘要
Wood is one of the most frequently used building materials. However, due to its composition, it is flammable, which causes complications when using it. Coatings are one of the options for protecting wooden structures from the effects of fire. The article deals with the possibility of producing such a coating by combining water glass and fine biochar particles. Both components of the coating were combined in several proportions and then applied to the surface of the spruce wood. The samples treated in this way were finally measured using a cone calorimeter.
