Resumen:
The aim of this paper was to determine the fire performance of wood panels (Araucaria angustifolia) impregnated with soluble alkaline silicates. Commercial silicates based on sodium and potassium with 2.5/1.0 and 3.0/1.0 silica/alkali molar ratio were selected; solutions and glasses were previously characterized. Experimental panels were tested in a Limiting Oxygen Chamber and in a Two Foot Tunnel. Results displayed a high fire retardant efficiency using some soluble silicates.
