METHOD OF TREATING WOOD TO IMPART THERETO FIRE RETARDANCE WITHOUT INCREASING THE HYGROSCOPICITY AND ADVERSELY AFFECTING THE DIMENSIONAL STABILITY COMPRISING IMPREGNATING WOOD WITH A SOLUTION CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF FROM 10 TO 50% BY COMBINED WEIGHT OF DICYANDIAMIDE, PHOSPHORIC ACID AND FORMALDEHYDE AND 90 TO 50% BY WEIGHT WATER, SAID DICYANDIAMIDE AND PHOSPHORIC ACID BEING PRESENT IN A MOLE RATIO OF ABOUT 1:1 TO 2:1, RESPECTIVELY, AND SAID FORMALDEHYDE BEING PRESENT IN AN AMOUNT OF 0.05 MOLE TO 0.15 MOLE BASED ON THE NUMBER OF MOLES OF SAID DICYANDIAMIDE, AND HEATING THE IMPREGNATED WOOD TO A FINAL TEMPERATURE BETWEEN ABOUT 70 AND 100*C., THEREBY PRODUCING A FLAME-RETARDANT, DIMENSIONALLY STABLE WOOD OF REDUCED HYDROSCOPICITY.
