Identification and Performance Analysis of Eco-friendly Fire Retardant on Wood Surface Specimen with Water-based Paint

Abstract

Fire Retardant are the effective passive controls which have the efficiency to control the spread of fire also it is an important control aspect in Fire Safety. But when they exposed to fire some of the Fire retardant release smoke which may not be eco-friendly. So, eco-friendly fire retardant additives have been studied and their fire resisting performance has been analyzed. The fire-retardant material has been mixed with Water based paint separately. This substrate has been applied on the Wood testing surface and the Do It Yourself (DIY) experiment has been carried out. The  five performance criteria have been identified and the eco friendly fire retardant performance have been determined.
