What kinds of fire retardant coatings are there?

According to the above, fire retardant coatings can be mainly divided into the following types:

Non-intumescent fire retardant coatings: Non-intumescent fire retardant coatings can improve the fire resistance time through their own performance characteristics, and usually belong to thick coatings. It has high thermal conductivity, can resist high temperature and protect the substrate from fire.

Intumescent fire retardant coating: Intumescent fire retardant coating is a kind of thin coating, which can expand to form a fire retardant layer in case of fire and has good fire retardant performance. It delays the spread of flame and heat through the expansion of the coating.

Solvent-based fire retardant coating: Solvent-based fire retardant coating is a kind of fire retardant coating with organic solvent as the medium. It has good adhesion and weatherability, and is suitable for fireproof coating on various substrate surfaces.

Epoxy solventless fire retardant coating: epoxy solventless fire retardant coating is a kind of fire retardant coating based on epoxy resin and does not contain harmful volatiles. It has excellent wear resistance, chemical resistance and fire resistance, and is suitable for different construction surfaces such as steel structure and concrete.

Waterborne fire retardant coating: Waterborne fire retardant coating is an environmentally friendly coating with water as the medium, which is non-toxic and harmless and friendly to human body and environment. After construction, a layer of fireproof film is formed, which has good flame retardant performance and durability.

In addition, according to different construction purposes, fire retardant coatings can be further subdivided into different types such as steel structure, decoration, concrete and cable fire retardant coatings to meet the needs of different materials and construction requirements.

It should be noted that when selecting the appropriate type of fire retardant coating, it should be evaluated and selected according to the specific building surface materials, use environment and safety requirements. It is recommended to consult professionals or refer to reliable technical guidelines when purchasing and using fire retardant coatings to ensure the selection of suitable products.
