Fire-proof treatment solution and fire-retardant material therefrom

摘要

A fire-proof treatment solution capable of resolving problems, such as low solubility leading to low concentration and hence low combustion inhibiting effect and water solubility leading to a disadvantage of eluviation, of boron compounds used as a constituent of a flame-retarding treatment solution. In particular, a fire-proof treatment solution produced by adding phosphoric acid and a silane coupling agent to a weak acid or weak alkali aqueous metal salt solution containing a boron compound to thereby obtain a mixed aqueous solution and adding a plant extract composed mainly of a polyphenol compound to the mixed aqueous solution. This fire-proof treatment solution can be widely applied to members composed mainly of cellulose, such as wood, paper and natural fibers. This fire-proof treatment solution can increase the fixation of chemicals to thereby attain a high combustion inhibiting effect and can minimize the occurrence of eluviation.
