High Thermal-Resistant and Fire-Retardant Coatings

High Thermal-Resistant and Fire-Retardant Coatings 

Silicon-containing materials are expensive, however, and consequently copolymers or blends of silicones with acrylate, epoxy or urethanes are very often used to save costs. Recent reports have been made of innovative ways to design thermal-resistant coatings for example, titanium esters in combination with aluminum flakes have been incorporated into binders that resist temperatures up to 400 °C. Above this temperature burn off occurs and a complex coating of titanium-aluminum is formed that deposits on the substrate and enhances thermal resistance up to 800 C [30].
