Home decoration tips: paint also fire

According to the national fire statistics from January to October of 2008 notified by the Fire Department of the Ministry of Public Security, 82% of the deaths caused by fires were due to the asphyxiation of poisonous smoke poisoned by the inhalation of interior decorative materials. According to statistics from industry experts, the death rate from home fires is nearly six times higher than the average of other types of fires. 90% of the people who died in the fire died in the house, and nearly 70% died in the house.

Combustion is a rapid and intense oxidation reaction with flames. The reaction is very complex. Combustion must be generated and carried out in three conditions at the same time. Combustibles, combustion aids (such as air, oxygen, or oxidants) and fire sources (eg, High temperature or flame). In order to prevent the progress of the combustion, it is necessary to cut off any of the three elements in the combustion process, such as lowering the temperature, insulating the air, or combustibles.

Fire-retardant paint fire protection mechanism can be roughly summarized as the following five points: (1) fire-retardant paint itself is flame-retardant or non-flammable, so that the substrate is not directly exposed to contact with the air, delay the ignition of objects and reduce the burning rate. (2) In addition to being flame-retardant or non-flammable, the fire retardant coating has a low thermal conductivity and can delay the transfer of the flame temperature to the protected substrate. (3) The fire-retardant paint is decomposed by heat to form a non-combustible inert gas, diluting the flammable gas that is thermally decomposed by the protected object, making it difficult to burn or slow down the burning speed. (4) The nitrogen-containing fire retardant coating decomposes NO, NH3, etc., and reacts with organic free radicals to interrupt the chain reaction and lower the temperature. (5) Intumescent fire-retardant coatings are thermally expanded and foamed to form a carbon-foam insulation layer that closes the protected object, delays the transfer of heat and the substrate, and prevents the ignition of the object or the decrease in strength caused by the temperature increase.

In some fire incidents, many people were not burned but smoked. Therefore, during the renovation process, fire protection is also one of the most economical places. The fire retardant paint applied to the wood keel can play a role in retarding the fire and delaying the fire. Therefore, this process must not be omitted. If the ceiling is used, the fire retardant paint must be brushed. The ceiling of the aluminum buckle board does not have this process. In home improvement fire prevention, the owner must establish awareness and need to consider the fire protection rating of the material. Many owners do not know that different materials have different fire ratings and are mainly classified as non-flammable, flame-retardant, flammable, and flammable. Fire protection sites that should be considered for home decoration mainly include ceilings, walls, floors, and fixed furniture. From the point of view of design and construction, some non-flammable or non-flammable materials should be used. Selecting a flame resistant material can effectively reduce the probability of home fires and casualties. Brand building materials usually have fire rating signs. On the packaging of imported paints, there are also products marked with fire certification. For example, Finling's black label series products have passed the "Medical Certification of Norwegian Shipping Agency" and are the first choice for interior coatings for luxury cabins such as luxury yachts. Through this certified coating, the odor volatilization is extremely low, ensuring the health of the enclosed cabin air quality. At the same time, it retards combustion in the event of fire and reduces the emission of harmful gases at high temperatures.

In addition, home accessories, such as sofas, carpets, etc., if possible, should also try to choose fire-retardant material products. Never be careful.
