How Nine Inorganic Salts Affected Smoke Yield from Douglas-Fir Plywood.
Abstract
In surveying the potential use of building materials, surface flammability and fire resistance of the assemblies, in the past, have been the principal fire performance characteristics considered. Now increased emphasis is being placed on the potential for smoke development of acceptable materials. This report is the third in a series of applications of a smoke chamber test method developed by the National Bureau of Standards (NBS). This report deals with applying the smoke chamber test method to plywood treated with various inorganic chemical salts. Some of the salts are used as components of commercially available fire-retardant treatments, whereas others are non-fire-retardant.
