The Experimental Testing of Combustible Material with the Application of Fire Retardant

Abstract:

This manuscript presents the experimental testing and assessment of the combustible material behavior with a focus on modification by fire retardant during the process of combustion. We experimentally tested the material of representative natural thermal insulation made of hempen fiber and we compared these specimens with the application of representative fire retardant. The testing was proceed in accordance with the experimental method created with the purpose of evaluating the material behavior when exposed to a direct mid-height flame for a longer time period under laboratory conditions. The main aim of the experimental testing was possible improvement of fire-technical characteristic of building material for improve the fire protection.
