Fire retardant coatings are often required to protect a wide range of products of both
flammable and nonflammable against fire. It is an oldest, most efficient, and easiest method …

This paper presents a complete methodology for the assessment and modelling of the
flammability and fire resistance of carbon fibre (CF) reinforced thermosets (three different …

A novel type of flame-retardant decorated plywood (FDP) was designed and prepared
based on one kind of intumescent flame-retardant adhesive. The flame-retardant adhesive …

Intumescent coatings (also called reactive coatings) are widely used to protect structural
steel from fire. These thin coatings swell on heating to form a highly insulating char …

Pyrolysis and autoignition of beech wood covered with an acrylic-based waterborne coating
layer are experimentally and numerically examined. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) tests …

This paper applies a unique integrated approach to determine the flammability properties of
a composite material (epoxy with carbon fibre) and compares its fire behaviour at two …

This paper presents a practical engineering model to determine the flammability properties
and predict the fire performance of Intumescent Fire Retardant (IFR) coatings by performing …

Birch plywood has a wide range of applications for interior and exterior use. The demand for
plywood with improved fire protection properties and good visual appearance is increasing …

ABSTRACT A simple method is developed for characterizing the fire performance and
toxicity of polymers using basically three but up to five parameters if necessary. The first …

Accidental fire is a major concern in terms of safety of infrastructures and human lives. With
the technological advancement, several novel methods are developed for minimizing the …
