Titel
Smart coatings for fire retardancy
Abstract
Smart coatings with high performing fire retardant capacity were developed to overcome the disadvantage of wood being a combustible material. In two combined reseach and development projects over a time period of five years, smart coatings were developed that fulfill the requirements of decorative paints and offer an ignition protection of over 30 minutes in case of fire. The paper gives an overview of the formulation and laboratory work, as well as an insight into some of the accomplished tests under simulated fire conditions.
