Guardian Fire Shield Presentation

How fire retardants work

Impregnating treatments: These are treatments where the compound is absorbed into the timber cell walls and become part of the timber structure. This type of products removes the fuel source from the fire.

Fire retardants either prevent the flame or heat reaching the wood and igniting it, or they change the cell structure of the timber in such a way as to remove the wood as a source of fuel to the fire...  This does not mean that the timber will not chare and go black, when exposed to fire or radiant heat. What it does mean is that the timber will not ignite and when the heat source is removed no fire will remain.
