In addition, the wood impregnated flame retardant resin may further include 1 to 10 parts by weight of 100 parts by weight of water, such as preservatives, preservatives, colorants, fragrances as other additives.

In another aspect the present invention relates to a method for producing a flame retardant wood comprising a wood transfer step, a vacuum and resin transfer step, a resin impregnation step and a wood drying step.

1 is a flowchart illustrating a method of manufacturing a flame retardant wood according to the present invention.

Referring to Figure 1, the present invention transfers the dried wood to the vacuum chamber (S1), after maintaining the chamber in a vacuum to transfer the flame impregnated resin for wood impregnation (S2), by pressing the flame-retardant resin Impregnating the timber (S3) and a predetermined timber drying schedule (S4).

The wood transfer step (S1) is a step of transporting the dried wood to the vacuum chamber to load. In the present invention, natural wood is used to dry wood within 15% moisture content using a dryer. It is difficult to impregnate the resin inside the wood with high water content of 15% or more. Therefore, it should be dried first and then dried so that the resin can be easily impregnated into the wood voids.

After the chamber is maintained in vacuum, the wood impregnated flame retardant resin is transferred to the chamber (S2), and the vacuum chamber is decompressed to maintain the vacuum state, and the wood impregnated flame retardant resin is injected.

In the step S2, the flame retardant resin is injected after maintaining the vacuum chamber in a vacuum state. The degree of vacuum inside the vacuum chamber may be in a range lower than the normal pressure (760 mmHg).

When the inside of the vacuum chamber is in a vacuum state, the resin can be moved more quickly from the chemical tank to the vacuum chamber in the resin injection step, and a larger amount of resin can be injected into the wood.

The flame retardant resin for wood impregnation may use the flame retardant resin described above.

Injecting the flame retardant resin into the wood (S3) is a step of forcibly injecting the flame retardant resin into the wood by applying a predetermined pressure to the vacuum chamber filled with a resin. By the injection step, the flame retardant resin is present in the space inside the wood.

In general, moisture present in wood is present in empty spaces such as intracellular lumens and cell gaps or in the form of water molecules in fine pores in cell walls. Therefore, in the present invention, the space in which the flame retardant resin is impregnated represents spaces in which water was present in the wood, that is, micropores in the wood such as intracellular lumens and cell gaps.

In the impregnation step (S3), when the flame retardant resin is completely filled in the vacuum chamber, the pressure pump is operated to force the flame retardant resin into the wood.

The impregnation step (S3) in the present invention can be arbitrarily set the pressure and time according to the type of wood or the composition ratio of the resin for wood impregnation, flame retardancy, semi-combustibility, non-combustibility standards.

Looking more specifically, the pressure in the impregnation step is preferably treated at 15kg / ㎠ or more, in order to increase the productivity can be at least 20kgf / ㎠. When the pressure is 15 kg / cm 2 or less in the impregnation step, it is not only difficult to inject the flame retardant resin more than the reference amount into the wood, but also takes a long time to inject a predetermined resin injection amount.

When the wood is impregnated with the appropriate resin content, the remaining resin in the vacuum chamber is recovered by operating a pump and then the wood is transferred to the dryer.

The drying step (S4) is a step of drying the resin impregnated wood.

The drying step is a step of evaporating and removing the water present is impregnated with the resin in the wood.

During the impregnation step, the flame retardant present in the space inside the wood in the aqueous solution is filled with the wood interior space in a solid state as water evaporates by the drying step. The drying step is a step of drying the wood by controlling the temperature, humidity, and blowing in the dryer. The drying step may artificially dry the wood at low temperature below 100 degrees.

By the drying step, the water content of the resin-impregnated wood can be adjusted to 15%, preferably 12% or less.

After the drying step, as the water evaporates, components of the resin for wood impregnation (flame retardant, water-soluble glycols, other additives, etc.) are present as (resin) solids.

In the present invention, non-combustible wood is more than 120kg / ㎥, semi-combustible wood is 65kg / ㎥ or more, and flame retardant wood can reach the respective flame retardant performance standards by impregnating the resin solid content of 40kg / ㎥ or more.

That is, the resin content impregnated in the wood by the impregnation step may be more than 40kg / ㎥, the resin content may be more than 120kg / ㎥ for the manufacture of non-combustible wood.

In another aspect the invention relates to flame retardant wood. The flame retardant wood is a flame retardant wood impregnated with a water-soluble flame retardant, water-soluble glycols and water in the wood space, the flame retardant wood is impregnated by pressing the composition containing the water-soluble flame retardant, water-soluble glycols and water in a vacuum chamber It is formed by drying water, and the water-soluble flame retardant is present impregnated in the resin solid state in the space in the wood.

After the water-soluble flame retardant is impregnated into the interior space of the wood by pressure, the wood is dried to a water content of 12% or less, and the flame retardant and glycols dissolved in the water are filled in the wood interior space in a solid state.

For the composition, such as the water-soluble flame retardant may be referred to the above-described details.

The flame retardant wood according to the present invention can provide a flame retardant performance (non-flammable, semi-non-flammable, flame retardant, flame retardant) because the flame retardant is impregnated in the wood remaining, and also, since the flame retardant is not coated on the surface, the hollow inside the wood The space can still control the temperature and humidity, not only make the natural wood aroma, but also handle various paints and colors in the future.
