Before designing the formula for fire-resistant coatings, the film-forming material (substrate) should be selected based on the intended use, main characteristics, and quality requirements of the fire-resistant coating. After determining the main film-forming material, corresponding additives, reinforcing fillers, pigments, solvents, and additives should be selected.

Therefore, the formula of fire-resistant coatings should not only meet the requirements of their characteristics and quality indicators, but also cater to the needs of fire-resistant coatings for different application modes. In the formulation of fire-resistant coatings, the selection of pigments should also be given significant attention.

The formulation design of flame-retardant coatings primarily involves determining the composition of the formula, which mainly includes the selection of raw materials (binders, additives, reinforcing fillers, pigments, solvents, additives, etc.) and the reasonable proportioning of various raw materials. In the formulation design of flame-retardant coatings, the main influencing factor that should be grasped is the selection of the main film-forming material (binder). This is the first step in raw material selection. Firstly, based on the product's application, technical requirements, construction application conditions, protected object and its shape, and drying method, a substrate should be preliminarily determined for testing, or a fixed heat-resistant system and support should be established. Various substrates should be optimized. Gradually select the types of additives, reinforcing fillers (fillers), and sequentially choose the proportion between the binder and fillers.

The general formula design of flame-retardant coatings mainly includes the following aspects: (1) selection of various binder types; (2) selection of various anti-A additives and reinforcing fillers; (3) selection of various solvent types; (4) selection of various additives; (6) selection of pigment types; (3) selection of various raw material ratios; (3) formulation of flame-retardant coatings for experimental research.

Optimization methods such as orthogonal design can enhance the efficiency and reliability of formula design. In the formulation design of flame-retardant coatings, the following issues should also be considered: (1) Understand the properties, sources, quality, testing methods, and prices of various raw materials (including binders, flame retardants, pigments, fillers, solvents, additives, etc.). It is crucial to know whether they can work together; (2) Get to know the major manufacturers of flame-retardant coatings.

Process equipment brings formula design and production process equipment closer together, improving production efficiency and ensuring stable product quality. Formula design should not only consider product quality indicators but also take into account product costs, making full use of domestic resources. The goal is to create high-quality products.

Some fire prevention measures cannot fully control the spread of fire, necessitating the introduction of new fire prevention technologies and products to enhance fire fighting capabilities. The flame-retardant coatings used in flammable and explosive areas of petrochemical enterprises require special flame-retardant coatings, which are tested through the temperature rise of oil flames and the shock waves generated by large explosions.

Fire-resistant coatings are suitable for flammable materials, building substrates, chemical production equipment, and pipelines. They are one of the important measures to reduce fires and also an effective method to control the degradation of structural performance during fires, which can lead to building collapses and equipment pipeline bursts. Their importance lies in:

(1) Postpone the ignition cycle of combustible substrates, and reduce the flame propagation speed and release rate of combustible substrates.

(2) Improve the fire resistance of building and structural base materials, prevent the spread of flames during the separation of fire sources, prevent and mitigate the spread of flames between buildings, and maintain the stability of buildings and structures.

(3) Improve the fire resistance of ships, slow down the decline of their physical and mechanical properties, prevent heat from transferring to the interior of the ship, causing physical or chemical explosions, and reduce potential accidents involving ships and pipelines. Prevent rupture.

(4) Improve the fire resistance of concrete and the fire endurance of concrete slabs, reinforced concrete slabs, reinforced concrete beams, and prestressed floor systems. Jiangxi Youlinsheng Fire-Retardant Coating
