doi:10.2478/kom-2020-0015

Abstract

The search deals with the possibilities of increasing the fire resistance of paper, cardboard or paperboard. The article includes the principles of fire retardancy as well as requirements for a suitable preparation and lists substances and mixtures which, according to the literature, are/were used in the manufacturing process or after-treatment of paper products. The article is also continuously supplemented by examples from the patent literature.
