✦ Synopsis

The Superphosphate Fertilizer, to be referred to simply as fertilizer, was used to impregnate some tropical timbers. It was observed that this treatment drastically altered the thermal characteristics of these materials. The results are interpreted as arising from the fact that on heating, fertilizer evolves molecules that interfere with the chemistry of pyrolysis/combustion of wood cellulose.

Potassium aluminum sulphate, hereafter referred to as alum, was used as a flame-retardant for some African timbers. It was observed that this treatment did not drastically reduce the strength of these timbers. Reasons are adduced to explain this result.
