The Effect of Applying Methods of Fire Retardant on Physical and Mechanical Properties of Bamboo Scrimber

This paper presents a study on the different applying methods of (NH4)2HPO4 fire retardant influence on physical and mechanical properties of bamboo scrimber. The results showed: the properties of bamboo scrimber would change with applying methods changing of fire retardant; the method of applying fire retardants before gluing would increase the part of physical and mechanical properties of bamboo scrimber, but it would increase the manufacturing cost of bamboo scrimber; the method of applying fire retardants after gluing would reduce the part of physical and mechanical properties of bamboo scrimber.
