This study proposes an innovative treatment method for enhancing the fire resistance of wood through the application of sustainable additives, specifically diammonium phosphate (DAP) and borax. The treatment aims to reduce flammability and slow down combustion rates in wood, making it a safer material for construction. Laboratory tests were conducted on wood samples treated with various concentrations of DAP and borax, followed by controlled burn tests to evaluate the materials' fire resistance properties. The findings suggest that wood treated with a DAP and borax solution exhibits significant improvements in flame retardancy compared to untreated samples, particularly at high temperatures. Additionally, the proposed treatment process is environmentally friendly, as it utilizes non-toxic, naturally derived compounds, making it an ideal solution for eco-conscious construction projects. This study highlights the potential of DAP and borax as sustainable fire-retardant treatments for wood, providing insights into applications for safer and greener building practices. The mixture 1, with a ratio of 1:2 (diammonium phosphate: borax), proved to be the most effective among the analyzed combinations, as it exhibited a higher average ignition delay time and a higher average ignition temperature. It is concluded that the natural treatment enhances the fire resistance of wood by using sustainable additives like diammonium phosphate and borax, aiming to provide an ecological and safe solution applicable in the construction industry.
