Wood and wood‐based products are widely used for structural building elements, but due to their composition, they are susceptible of combusting if exposed to fire. Fire safety is an important issue of building safety, especially when the building's fire load contents enhance the risks of fire spread. Therefore, the involved materials are very important to address the fire safety requirements. When existing timber structures are involved, the most usual way to improve its reaction to fire is to treat wood with fire retardant materials.

进行处理和改进以改善木材和木质产品对火的反应—概述

木材和木质产品广泛用于结构建筑构件，但是由于其成分，如果暴露于火中，它们很容易燃烧。防火安全是建筑物安全的重要问题，尤其是当建筑物的火荷载含量增加了火灾蔓延的风险时。因此，所涉及的材料对于解决消防安全要求非常重要。当涉及到现有的木材结构时，提高其对火反应的最常用方法是用阻燃材料处理木材。
