“…Anti-inflammatory treatment methods include: application, which sprays or directly coats flame retardants on the surface of the wooden material, lining, which attach metal plates or other non-combustible materials, and impregnation, which penetrates flame retardants into the wooden material, depending on the characteristics of the combustible material (Kim and Hyun, 2009;Cha et al, 2011). For wood materials and wooden products, the anti-inflammatory method of spraying or brushing flame retardants has been typically used after the materials or products are installed in the structures (Min et al, 2012), and research has been conducted on flame retardant impregnation times from 10 minutes up to 240 minutes to apply the impregnation method (Lim et al, 2008;Park et al, 2011;Kim et al, 2012;Kim et al, 2013). As it was reported that application of commercial retardants to a Korean red pine is more effective than impregnation (Choi et al, 2011), research is required to present appropriate treatment methods for different types of flame retardants and treated materials.…”
