ABSTRACT
Application of fire-resistant coatings is one of the basic methods of protecting wood and other flammable materials from the influence of a fire and increased temperature. It is desirable to impart both short-term protection, to allow evacuation from a building, and long-term protection, to protect the surfaces from heat and fire damage and to prevent combustion. In recognition of the foregoing, various compositions have been developed that can add fire-retardant (-resistant) performance to substrates.
