In order to protect the structure from fire, prevent fire and minimize damage caused by thermal exposure, special fire-retardant paints for wood are used. They contribute to the improvement of operational characteristics, increase the wear resistance of the object and, of course, guarantee high fire protection.
The scope of these substances is very wide. They are used with equal success in housing construction, in production, for finishing technical blocks and industrial structures.
The high-quality implementation of the fire protection system is the key to the safety of the structure and the ability to minimize the cost of restoring the building after a fire. Most importantly, thanks to reliable timely protection, it is possible to save not only a technical or residential facility, but also human lives.
to contents ↑The essence of fire protection
The structures treated with a special coating do not visually differ, but in terms of their physical and technical characteristics they are far ahead of similar objects that were not amenable to protection. Fire-resistant paint guarantees thermal stability of the building.
The main feature is that it does not give the fire a chance to spread. Due to its unique composition, it penetrates deeply into the structure of the tree, preventing the ignition of the material. Each of its subspecies includes a special mixture of flame retardant, pigment, as well as a substance that provides excellent bonding. This paint forms a film that can be used as a heat-resistant coating and at the same time act as an excellent decorative element.
Fire retardant paints are available for both indoor and outdoor use. The choice of the basis of the material, as well as the specifics of its application, depends on where the work will be carried out. As a rule, for wooden planes, which are parts of the interior of the house, substances on liquid glass are used. When heated, they give the wood heat resistance, forming a film on its surface, which completely blocks the access of air to the wood base. Thus, fire, even getting on the surface of the material, does not have the ability to destroy its structure.
Important! Wood structures will be protected even more if the object is treated with special impregnation before applying the substance. Double protection of the material will negate the risk of fire, and even under an hour of unforeseen localization of the fire will not give him a chance to spread over a large area.
to contents ↑The use of refractory paints for wood
In addition to resisting high temperatures, refractory paint has a wide range of effects. Refractory substance is not at all afraid of frost and heat, and natural phenomena and precipitation are not afraid of it.Even aggressive chemicals cannot dramatically affect the structure of the wood treated with this paint. Thanks to these properties, its wide scope is noted.
Non-combustible substance can be used in production, in housing, under the hour of processing shopping and entertainment complexes. This paint is non-toxic and does not cause any harm to human health, which makes it possible to use it even in public places (restaurants, cafeterias, hotels, administrative and industrial buildings).
It is actively used to protect wooden, fiber and wood-particle, plywood surfaces. Processing with this paint may be subject to:
- walls;
- ceilings;
- windows and doors;
- rafter systems;
- shelves and racks;
- attic structures;
- exterior cladding of houses, etc.
As for the application of the refractory composition, it should be carried out on a previously prepared and degreased surface.As a rule, special sprayers are used for this, less often a roller or brush is used.
Refractory substances for wood, of which there are a great many today, and which differ in various degrees and class of fire protection, are used both in housing construction and in production.
They are used to improve the physical, technical and operational qualities of wood and, in addition, to achieve the aesthetic appearance of the object.
The variety of colors and textures of such paints makes it as easy and simple as possible to make your choice and choose the most suitable option in accordance with the interior design or exterior decoration.
In order to make a choice, it is necessary to consult a specialist, having previously indicated for himself the scope, fire resistance class, price and other aspects necessary for a more accurate selection.
