The treated wood was subjected to post-heat treatment at 120, 150, and 180 °C for 1 h to examine the effects of the post-heat treatment on pH changes, anti-swelling efficiency, water absorption, mechanical strength, accelerated weathering, leaching resistance, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), UL-94 vertical burning test and crystallinity index. The post-heat treatment of fire-retardant treated wood reduced water intake and increased dimensional stability, while also improving mechanical and thermal properties in general. DAP/glucose complexes promote phosphorus fixation in wood and reduce leaching, resulting in long-term fire protection of wood in service. Because of these improvements in the post-heat treated wood by impregnated fire retardant, it can potentially be used as a reliable engineering material in a wide range of structural applications.falseAnatolian black pine | di-ammonium phosphate | glucose | leaching resistance | TGAArticle10.1515/hf-2021-023510.1515/hf-2021-02352-s2.0-85127853198WOS:000773332900001645657761437-434X
