In the construction of buildings, steel structures and wood structures are widely used in various types of buildings due to their unique properties and advantages. However, these two structures face huge challenges in the face of fire. When a fire occurs, the high temperature and flame invasion often cause the steel structure to deform due to heat, while the wood structure may burn quickly, seriously threatening the safety of the building. In order to meet this challenge, building fire retardant coatings came into being, providing a solid fire barrier for steel and wood structures.

Steel structure parts, such as steel columns, steel beams and steel frames, are the skeleton of the building, supporting the weight and stability of the entire building. However, these parts are the most vulnerable to threats in a fire. When a fire occurs, the high temperature flames will quickly heat the steel structure, causing it to lose its original strength and stability, or even collapse. To prevent this from happening, we need to use fire retardant coatings to protect the steel structure. Depending on the type and exposure of the steel structure, we can choose different types of building fire retardant coatings. For example, indoor ultra-thin, indoor thin, indoor thick and outdoor thick steel structure fire retardant coatings, etc., each of which has different characteristics and advantages, and can meet the fire protection requirements under different occasions and needs.

Compared with steel structures, wooden structures also face huge risks in fires. Due to the material, wooden beams, wooden columns, wooden floors and wooden keels, once exposed to fire sources, they will burn rapidly and spread the fire. Therefore, we also need to use building fire retardant coatings to improve the fire resistance of wooden structures. The decorative building fire retardant coating is a water-soluble expansive fire retardant coating suitable for wooden structures. It can expand rapidly at high temperatures to form a thick fireproof and heat-insulating layer, which effectively prevents flames and high temperatures from invading wooden structures. At the same time, this fire retardant coating also has the advantages of safety, non-toxicity, pollution-free, and convenient construction, which can greatly improve the fire safety of wooden structures.

In practical applications, we need to choose appropriate building fire retardant coatings for painting according to the specific conditions and needs of the building. For steel structures, we need to choose fire-retardant coatings with corresponding fire-retardant grades and performances for protection according to the type and exposure of the steel structure. For wooden structures, we need to choose decorative Construction fireproof coatings with excellent expansion performance and fire-proof and heat-insulating performances for painting.

Construction fireproof coatings are an important means of protecting steel and wooden structures from fire. By choosing appropriate fire-retardant coatings for painting, we can greatly improve the fire safety of buildings and provide people with a safer and more reliable living environment.
