Abstract
The influence of three fire retardant agents: Polichron, Pyrolak W-10, and Pyrolak W-10 + Pyrolak W-1 on smoke density of pine wood, plywood, soft hardboard and tough hardboard was investigated. Surface samples of 25 cm2 (5 × 5 cm) were used and the heat flux was varied over the range of 1.0 to 4.0 W/cm2.
