Fire Retardant Formula

Flame Proof LHC, an advanced fire retardant formulation produced by Osmose, reportedly is the first interior fire retardant with LHC-low hygroscopicity and corrosion.

Properly kiln dried after treat- ment, it is significantly less hygroscopic than conventional interior fire retardants, and only slightly more hygroscopic than untreated wood. It can be specified for interior applications with relative humidities less than 9590.

The reduced hygroscopicity means that the treated material will not develop unsightly surface bloom. There are no residues. The material will remain clean, making it easy to apply oil based paints and stains.

By reducing hygroscopicity values and eliminating surface bloom of fire retardant chemicals, Osmose has made Flame Proof LHC treated wood compatible with metal fasteners when used in interior applications. Corrosion to metal fasteners is similar to that of untreated wood at relative humidities less than 9590. This means that wood products pressure treated with Flame Proof

LHC can be used for all interior uses where untreated wood and metal fasteners would perform satisfactorilv.

The significantly improved features of Flame Proof are said to make it easy to inventory. When stored I properly under cover, degrade problems experienced with conventional I interior fire retardants will be greatly reduced.
