Popis: The fire-retardant performances of various surface coatings for naval ship interior applications have been evaluated by a number of small-scale fire test methods. The coatings were eveluated as topcoats by cone calorimetry and limiting oxygen index methods and as primer/topcoat systems by radiat heating, direct flame impingement and reverse panel heating procedures. The coatings investigated were (1) a solvent-based epoxy polyester, (2) a solvent-based fireretardant alkyd,(3) a solvent-based chlorimated alkyd and (4) a water-based acrylic. In terms of the measured parameters, the chlorinated alkyd has superior fire properties while the epoxy polyserter, the fire-retardant alkyd and parameters, the chlorinated alkyd has superior fire properties while the epoxy polyester, the fire-retardant alkyd and the acrylic have significat disadvantages in relation to fire propagation. The relatively low amount of hydrogen chloride (∼ 0.3%—mass per initial mass) evolved by the chlorinated alkyd during cone calorimetric combustion and its outstanding fire-retardant properties have resulted in it being considered acceptable for naval ship interior applications.
