Fire retardant white
Fire retardant paint is not just a layer of beautiful white color on the surface. This is an additional protection against the danger of fire, which helps us save our property and, importantly, life. Imagine a house in which this paint is applied to the walls and ceiling. In the event of a fire, it forms a kind of barrier, slowing down the spread of flame and smoke. This gives a precious time for the evacuation and actions of firefighters.
Types and use of fire retardant colors
There are several types of fire -retardant colors, each of which is intended for specific materials and conditions. There are paints for metal, wood, concrete. The choice depends on what needs to be protected: house, warehouse, garage? If you want to protect wooden furniture or facades of the house, then you need one type of paint, and if the metal structure is another. Paints differ in the degree of fire protection. One paint can cope with the initial phase of the fire, and the other can withstand a more intense fire. Professionals can help determine the best option for your situation.
How paint works: barrier for fire and smoke
The main principle of operation of any fire -retardant paint is the creation of a heat -resistant layer on the surface of the material. This layer prevents the spread of heat from fire and smoke. When the paint heats up, it emits substances that form a dense, but at the same time a breathable film. This film acts as a barrier, holding back fire and smoke. It is important to consider that the paint does not extinguish the fire, but only slows its distribution. It creates extra time for evacuation and extinguishing a fire. As a result, not only property, but also human health protects against damage.
