TY - JOUR TI - Effect of impregnation with boron compound doped rosin to the combustion resistance of oriental beech wood (fagus orientalis lipsky) AB - In this study, investigation of the combustion properties of Oriental beech wood (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) impregnated withboron compound (borax (Na2B4O710H2O), boric acid (H3BO3) doped rosin (C19H29COOH) was aimed. For this purpose, Orientalbeech wood samples were prepared according to ASTM E 160-50 and impregnated with boron compound doped rosin by themethod of medium-term dipping (24 hours) according to ASTM D 1413 and producers’ definition. Combustion properties ofsamples after impregnated process were determined according to ASTM E 160-50. As a part of the research, 6 different combinationand contents of impregnation materials have been used in order to especially investigate resistance against combustion of woodmaterial treated with boron compounds in different concentrations. As a result of the study, retention performance and leachingresistance of boron compounds can be increased through rosin addition. Consequently, impregnation materials with rosin decreasedthe flame sourced combustion (Fsc) temperatures depending on kind of impregnation material, extended combustion period anddecreased weight loss ratio of the test samples in comparison to the control samples. On the contrary, weight loss ratios wereaffected negatively in Oriental beech test samples up to 3% when compared with samples which were impregnated with borax.Meanwhile, combustion periods increased in test samples up to 30%. Rosin, in terms of its combustion performance, can bepreferred in impregnation with boron compounds depending on kind of wood and using area.
