What is fire retardant coating mainly used for?
The functions of refractory coating are as follows: 1. Non-intumescent fire retardant coating is mainly used for the fireproofing of wood, fiber board and other materials, and it is used in the surfaces of wood truss, roof, doors, windows and etc. Second, the intumescent fire retardant coating can be divided into non-toxic intumescent fire retardant coating, expansible fire retardant coating emulsions, solvent-based fire retardant coating. 3. Non-toxic intumescent fire retardant coating can be used to protect cables, polyethylene pipes and insulation board. 4, The expansible fire retardant coating emulsion and solvent-based fire retardant coating can be used for fireproofing of buildings, electricity power, and cables. 5. New fire retardant coating: Transparent fire retardant coating, water-soluble intumescent fire retardant coating, fireproof emulsion paint, polyvinyl acetate emulsion fire retardant paint, water-soluble intumescent fire retardant paint drying at room temperature, fire insulation coating polyolefin fire retardant coating, modified high chloropolyethylene fire retardant paint, chlorinated rubber fire retardant coating, firewall coating, intumescent coatings, wire and cable fire retardant paint, new fire retardant coating, casting fire retardant coating and so on.
Fire retardant coating is a coating which is applied to the surface of buildings and structures and can form a protective layer of fire retardancy and thermal insulation. It can reduce the flammability of the coated materials and block the rapid spread of fire so as to improve fire endurance of the coated materials. Features of fire retardant coating: (1) Fire retardant coating itself has a flame-retardancy or non-inflammability, and it can prevent the protected substrate from direct contact with the air, and delay ignition and reduce the burning speed of the objects. (2) In addition to flame retardancy or non-inflammability, the fire retardant coating itself has a a low thermal conductivity, which can delay the transfer of flame temperature to the substrate to be protected. (3) When heating, fire retardant coating decomposes non-combustible inert gas to dilute the combustible gas decomposed by the protected, making it difficult to burn or slow down the burning rate. (4) Fire retardant coating containing nitrogen will decomposite NO, NH3 and other basic groups, which compound with the organic radicals and interrupt the chain reaction so as to reduce the temperature. (5) intumescent fire retardant coating will expand and foam when heating, and form a carbon foam insulation to block the protected objects, thus delaying the transmission of heat to the substrate.
