Abstract
High temperature and fire-proof protection of metal structures issue involves formation of dense insulating coatings which possess low thermal diffusivity and capable to withstand high temperatures caused by open flame and other severe conditions. Such coating should be considered as sacrificial as it slowly decomposes during extreme high temperature impact. Such coatings intend significant extension of time required for heating and development of inelastic deformation in metal-based structures increasing service time in severe conditions. Several modifications of fire-proof coatings composed of organic binders were developed and investigated. Fireproof coatings were subjected to open flame test on an adapted burner rig. Open flame simulation with 1100°C was carried to estimate coating’s protection properties. Investigates coating showed reduction of temperature for 1000°C during 10 minutes. Such results achieved due to spumescent effect of coating’s coke layer.
