Whereas hygroscopicity an leaching resistance often have a bad influence on performance of fire-retardants, in this work, nano-SiO2 sol was added to different nitrogen-phosphorus-boron fire retardants to make four new compounds to impregnate bamboo strips, named: (1) ammonium dihydrogen phosphate + disodium octaborate tetrahydrate (AD), (2) ammonium dihydrogen phosphate + disodium octaborate tetrahydrate + nano-SiO2 sol (ADS), (3) ammonium dihydrogen phosphate + boric acid (AB), and (4) ammonium dihydrogen phosphate + boric acid + nano-SiO2 sol (ABS). After that, the hygroscopicity, leaching resistance and thermal stability were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy (EDX), thermogravimetric (TG) and fourier-transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), and the optimal compound fire retardant is ABS. The results show that the addition of nano-SiO2 sol can not only reduce the hygroscopicity of fire-retardant bamboo strips effectively, but also improve its leaching resistance. The results also indicate that compared with non-fire-retardant bamboo strips, the thermal stability of bamboo strips treated with AB and ABS was improved significantly, and there was no significant difference between AB and ABS.
