ON THE FIRE RETARDANT TREATMENTS OF CREOSOTED SLEEPERS

In an attempt to increase the fire retardant performance of creosoted sleepers, the use of fire retarding coating materials was investigated. In this study, the ignition and burning of sawdusts, creosoted and uncreosoted wood specimens, and the effects of coating materials made for trial, and the burning behavior of testing sleepers set in site were tested. The results obtained show that the chemicals made for trial are able to reduce the risk of fire of creosoted sleepers.
