ABSTRACT
In this chapter we focused on the development of environmentally friendly intumescent/char forming coatings for wood and polymeric materials. For this purpose we have developed the method of oxidation of raw materials-–polysaccharides, seeds, and lignin by oxygen in the presence of catalyst. The main products of oxidation of such substrates are the salts of polyoxy and polyphenoxy acids. The efficiency of fireproofing action of novel surface protecting intumescent coating for wood and polymeric materials based on modified renewable raw materials was studied. The flammability tests of wood and polymers samples treated by oxidized raw materials confirm their high-performance fire protection.
