Abstract:
The occurrence of a fire can culminate in catastrophes, causing deaths, physical damage, material damage, among others. So, over the years, several strategies to avoid or mitigate fire accidents have been developed. One of the solutions is to coat surfaces with thermal protection materials, and based on this idea, a new paint formulation was considered. In this work, two water-based intumescent paints were prepared, one for cellulosic fire protection and the other for hydrocarbon fire protection. The main objective of this work was to develop a potential intumescente anti-fire system containing compounds different from the usual ones, such as dextrin, alumina tri-hydrate and sorbitol in fire protection capable of protecting metallic and wooden substrates. In the study of the paints, performance tests were carried out: application on surfaces and fire resistance. The carbon layer was evaluated through its dimension measurement and heat transfer to the substrate.
