Protection of Timber from Combustion and Burning Using Alkaline Aluminosilicate-Based Coatings

Abstract:

The paper presents data on the protection of timber from combustion and burning using the protective coatings based on alkali aluminosilicates. The results of study suggested to formulate a mix design of the alkaline aluminosilicate bond, choose fillers and to determine rates of mass loss of timber at burning and degree to which the samples under study have been deteriorated. The coated samples of wood have a minimum rate of burning – 0.002-0.0024 kg/s·m2, which is 1.3-1.6 times less than the permissible value (0.0032 kg/s·m2) and 1.5-2.3 less than that of the analogue (a commercial product "Siofarb”). In combustibility and burning behavior, the formulated coatings can be classified as hardly combustible and non- burnable materials.
