heal.abstract	Two methods were employed for measuring fire retardancy of minerals hydromagnesite, huntite and natural hydromagnesite/huntite mixtures, on forest species. The first was based on DTG under N2 atmosphere, to isolate pyrolysis of forest species and the second on LOI for combustion measurements. The selected forest species: Pinus halepensis Mill. and Cistus incanus L., were collected from a WUI zone and were treated with 5, 10, 15 and 20 mass/mass% of minerals. Regarding DTG analysis, the minerals decrease pyrolysis rate and increase mass residue of forest species. Regarding LOI tests, minerals increase pilot ignitability of forest fuels. Hydromagnesite exhibits the best overall performance. © 2009 Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest.	en
