The influence of the ratio of main components in intumescent fire-retardant coating
Abstract
One of the common ways to optimize fire-retardant intumescent compositions (ІС) consisting of ammonium polyphosphate (АРР)/melamine (МА)/pentaerythritol (РЕ)/ TiO2/binder is by experimentally selecting the best ratio of main ingredients (APP, MA and PE) in the system, which does prove to be a good strategy for managing fire-retardant properties as well as operational parameters and cost of IC.
