Charring
Charring is a chemical process of incomplete
combustion of certain solids when subjected to high
heat. The resulting residue matter is called
char. By the action of heat, charring removes
hydrogen and
oxygen from the solid, so that the remaining char is composed primarily of
carbon. Polymers like
thermoset, or most solid organic compounds like wood or
biological tissue, exhibit charring behaviour.
