Research on the Effect of Fire-smoke Resistance for Plywood Coated with Water-borne Finishing Fire Resistant Coating
The effect of fire-smoke resistance for 9mm thick plywood,which was coated with five coating ratios of 0、250、500、1 000 g/m2 and 1 500 g/m2 of water-borne finishing fire resistant coating separately,was studied via single burning item test.As the increasing of coating ratio,the heat release rate of plywood was reduced from 162 kW to 5 kW.Similarly,the total heat release of plywood was reduced from 53 MJ to 2 MJ.The smoke production rate and total smoke production of plywood specimen coated with water-borne finishing fire resistant coating were increased,mean-while the occurred time of smoke production rate peak was delayed.The occurred time of smoke production rate peak for plywood specimen coated was delayed from 9 s to 135 s compared to plywood specimen with coating ratio of 0 g/m2.To insure the classification of fire-smoke resisttant for plywood coated not lower than B1(B-s1)class,the coating ratio of water-borne finishing fire resistant should not be less than 250 g/m2 and coated unevenly.Fourier transform in-frared spectroscopy research shows that water-borne finishing fire resistant coating can form charring layer and generate non combustible gases,which are conducive to preventing fire and for people increase the opportunity of escaping from smoke environment.
