Intumescent polyvinyl acetate latex fireproof coating: excellent integration of technology and protection
Intumescent polyvinyl acetate latex fireproof coating is an innovative product that is widely used in construction, industry, and other fields due to its excellent fire resistance and multi-functional properties. In this paper, the preparation, composition, working principle and application prospect of expansive polyvinyl acetate latex fireproof coating are discussed.

One of the core characteristics of intumescent fireproof coatings is its expansion foaming ability. In the event of a fire, the coating rapidly expands and forms a foam layer, which not only effectively blocks oxygen, but also provides excellent thermal insulation. The foam layer can delay the speed of heat transfer to the protected substrate, thus effectively preventing the rapid spread of the flame. More notably, the process of coating expansion to form foam insulation is an endothermic reaction, which reduces the temperature of the system, thus further improving the flame retardant and fire protection effect.

The main components of the expanded polyvinyl acetate latex fireproof coating include:
Carbon source

Tripentaerythritol is commonly used.

Blowing agent

Common blowing agents used to promote the expansion and foaming of coatings in the event of fire include ammonium polyphosphate.

Organo-nitrogen compound

The commonly used organic nitrogen compound is melamine.

These three components work together to form the foaming component, which is the key part of the expanded polyvinyl acetate latex fireproof coating. In addition, the coating also includes other additives, such as dispersants, wetting agents, plasticizers, etc., to ensure the stability and performance of the coating.

Polyvinyl acetate emulsion, commonly known as white latex, is the base material for this paint. It is a polymer formed by the reaction of vinyl acetate and polyvinyl alcohol with emulsifier. White latex has the characteristics of strong bonding force, short drying time and good waterproof performance, so it is an ideal base material and film forming agent for preparing fireproof coatings.

Chlorofluorocarbon-70 is a key material used as a flame retardant. Its molecular formula is C5HCl2 and its relative molecular mass is about 401.42. Chlorofluorocarbon-70 is a white or light yellow powder resin with high flame retardant properties. It is mainly used in rubber products, foam decorative board, polyolefin and other materials flame retardant, but also used in PVC products, fabrics, packaging materials, adhesives and other fields, is difficult or lack of fire retardant coatings filler and flame retardant.

Intumescent polyvinyl acetate latex fireproof coating: excellent integration of technology and protection

The method for preparing expansive polyvinyl acetate latex fireproof coating consists of the following steps:
First of all, the carbon source, blowing agent and organic nitrogen compounds are added to the high-speed disperser in the specified ratio, and the high-speed mixing is carried out to ensure uniform dispersion.

Next, the paste mixture is put into a sander, where it is ground and dispersed to achieve the desired fineness.

Finally, the treated slurry was put into the paint mixing tank of the low speed mixer, and the polyvinyl acetate emulsion was added, and the expanded polyvinyl acetate latex fireproof coating was obtained.

The precise control of this preparation process and the selection of ingredients are key factors in ensuring stable and efficient paint performance. The high fire resistance and multi-functional properties of coatings make them widely used in many fields.

In the field of construction, the expanded polyvinyl acetate latex fireproof coating is usually used for the fire protection treatment of walls, ceilings, pillars and other structures. It not only provides effective fire protection, but also beautifies the surface of the building to meet the design requirements. In addition, it can also reduce the flammability of building materials and improve the fire safety of the overall building.

In the industrial sector, this coating is often used in the fire protection treatment of industrial equipment, pipes and storage tanks. Industrial equipment usually operates at high temperatures or pressures, making it prone to fire. The high temperature and flame retardant properties of the expanded polyvinyl acetate latex fire retardant coating make it an ideal choice for protecting industrial equipment.

In the transportation sector, such as ships and vehicles, this paint is also widely used to improve the fire safety of vehicles. It can prevent the fire from spreading on the vehicle and provide enough time for evacuation and extinguishing.

In short, the intumescent polyvinyl acetate latex fireproof coating represents an excellent fusion of technology and protection. Its unique performance and multi-functional characteristics make it play a key role in various fields, protecting life and property. With the continuous progress of science and technology, we can expect that the performance of this fireproof coating will continue to improve, providing more reliable fire protection for our social and economic activities.
