    General Information
    Historical Development
    Since modern times, the process has been refined, and the need for fire protection has increased day by day. In the past, paints used mostly natural substances to resist fire, but their effectiveness was limited. In the last century, various chemical materials were gradually used for flame prevention, among which intumescent flame retardant coatings were particularly valued. Its mechanism expands in case of fire, forming a heat-insulating carbon layer, which effectively curbs the spread of fire. And at the end of the 20th century, a new type of flame retardant system based on melamine came out. Melamine has high nitrogen properties, and pyrolysis releases non-flammable gas, which cooperates with expansion to play the role of fire prevention. At the same time, it has excellent environmental protection and little toxicity, and has gradually become the mainstream. Later scholars study the mechanism, improve the ratio, and make the expansion efficiency and adhesion advance. Nowadays, melamine-based intumescent flame retardant coatings are widely used in construction, transportation and other industries, and have become an essential equipment to ensure industrial safety. After a hundred years of changes, it has become more and more perfect, indicating the great progress of chemical fire protection technology.

    Preparation Method
    Take melamine, ammonium phosphate and carbon sources as raw materials, weigh all flavors, and mix in proportion. Stir gently first to make it uniform, slowly heat it to a suitable temperature, gradually add a predetermined solvent, and continue to stir for several hours to promote dissolution and mutual fusion. The material body is uniform, slowly heats up, and until the high temperature required for the reaction, melamine reacts with ammonium phosphate to form a phosphorus-nitrogen complex. If catalysis is required, an acidic or alkaline catalyst is used to promote a rapid and complete reaction. Its catalytic mechanism is to adjust pH, enhance nucleophilic attack, and shorten the reaction path. During this time, the carbon source is affected by phosphoric acid to form an expanded flame retardant layer. Cooling and filtering, the finished product of the expanded flame retardant is obtained, especially dry for storage. The silk is applied to the surface of the material, and the flame will foam and expand, isolating the heat source, and it is difficult to burn the flame, which is sufficient to protect its use.
    Chemical Reactions & Modifications
    Melamine has strong white properties and is difficult to burn in case of fire. It is used in intumescent flame retardant coatings. It can react with inorganic acids such as phosphoric acid and additives such as pentaerythritol at high temperatures to form a porous expanded carbon layer, which is blocked from heat sources and chokes off air, so it has excellent flame retardant effect. The way of modification is to graft melamine molecules with functional groups such as ether and formaldehyde to increase its dispersion and water resistance. Or use silicone and nanoparticles to enhance interfacial bonding and improve heat aging resistance and comprehensive performance. Its chemical reaction mechanism is that ammonia is released from melamine at first, and then melamine participates in the polyphosphate reaction to form a cross-linked carbon layer. After the coating is modified, the surface is smooth, the adhesion is firm, and the flame retardancy is more outstanding. It is used in many fields of construction and fiber, with remarkable results, especially for safety.

    What are the main uses of Intumescent Coating Flame Retardant Melamine?
    Intumescent Coating Flame Retardant Melamine is a fireproof material commonly used in modern technology. Its main component is melamine. This material can expand and foam in case of fire to form a tough carbon layer to isolate heat and slow down the spread of fire. It is widely used in construction, ships, transportation and other fields. Its light and stable quality, applied to steel, wood, plastic surfaces, can spontaneously react under flames, releasing nitrogen and ammonia, supplemented by carbon formation, adding a layer of fire protection to the surface of the covering. The carbon layer is solid and difficult to be disturbed by flames. Even if the high temperature lasts for a long time, it can protect the object from rapid damage.
    Melamine blended coating, with a variety of additives, helps it to bulge in case of fire and expand rapidly. The dense foam formed by it isolates oxygen and heat sources, and thereby inhibits the combustion of the substrate. It is used in high-rise buildings and factories to ensure that the support of beams and columns does not collapse. It is also common in warehouses and theaters to prevent problems before they occur, so that everyone can avoid the gap of fire and property can be preserved. And because of its moisture resistance and corrosion resistance, mildew resistance and insect resistance, it is more suitable for changeable environments. Its coating is simple, easy to maintain and update, does not erode the substrate, and has a long service life, so it is known in the industry. It is both beautiful and practical, and the coating can be adjusted with color and luster to meet the needs of the environment.
    Compared with fireproof boards and refractory packs, melamine foam coating is light and powerful, which does not aggravate the structure, and can greatly improve the protection effect in an emergency. In today's high-rise buildings, all regulations have fire protection requirements. Start-up designs often specify the use of this material to ensure overall safety. The scientific principle is that it decomposes internally at high temperatures to generate inert gases that replace oxygen in the fire field, and the carbonized layer caused by expansion can firmly wrap the substrate. Its body shields against flames, which is an indispensable material for today's buildings and public facilities.
    How Does Intumescent Coating Flame Retardant Melamine Work?
    Intumescent Coating Flame Retardant Melamine is one of the most important flame retardant materials for intumescent coatings. The melamine used is a nitrogen-containing intermediate. Under the action of high temperature of the flame, it can release ammonia and inert gases, and at the same time self-extinguish the flame, slowing down the combustion. The principle is three. First, when melamine is heated, it starts a decomposition reaction, escapes ammonia and other non-flammable gases, dilutes flammable gases and oxygen, and extinguishes the flammable source. Second, when melamine is applied with acid sources and carbon sources, it reacts at high temperature, forming a foamed carbon film, covering the surface of the substrate, cutting off the contact between the external heat flow and the air, reducing heat transfer, and inhibiting the further ignition of the substrate. Third, the expanded carbon layer is dense and porous, which not only insulates heat, but also isolates the generation and escape of toxic fumes, ensuring the safety of humans and animals and delaying the spread of fire.
    Melamine is compatible with a variety of acid and carbon sources, such as phosphoric acid, ammonium polyphosphate, pentaerythritol, urea, etc., which is compatible to increase its flame retardant performance. Or mixed with epoxy resin and various additives, the film layer is strong, with strong adhesion, weather resistance and anti-corrosion simultaneous improvement. Its method is used in construction, steel structure, wood, textile, transportation and many other fields to effectively contain the spread of fire and protect the people's livelihood of the country.
    Cover melamine intumescent flame retardant coating, spontaneous foam in case of fire, growth volume dozens of times, shaped like a honeycomb, layer by layer barrier, reduce the intensity of burning flame, and suppress the generation of smoke. It can be evacuated for relief when the fire is suddenly stopped. Compared with conventional halogen flame retardants, it has no toxic corrosion and no environmental harm. In the field of modern fire protection and green energy saving, it is of great benefit. To sum up, melamine in intumescent flame retardant coatings plays an important role in gas phase dilution, condensation and heat insulation, and is an important tool of contemporary safety technology.
    Is Intumescent Coating Flame Retardant Melamine Safe for the Environment?
    "Intumescent Coating Flame Retardant Melamine" is one of the expanding flame materials. Its main component is melamine (Melamine) and lipid, which has the effect of inhibiting combustion and prolonging fire. However, the safety of its environment depends on many factors and cannot be generalized.
    Melamine itself has nitrogen compounds, which are often used in plastics, adhesives and various materials. In case of high pollution, it can release toxic nitrogen and ammonia, which can be inflated on the surface, forming a carbon barrier and effectively preventing the spread of fire. This system is effective for fire protection. However, in the process of production and use, if it is not properly managed, there may be a risk of escaping by-products; its degradation and combustion process, or low toxicity such as raw ammonia and water. Therefore, the self-toxicity of melamine is not high, but it is inhaled or stored in large quantities in the environment, or it may be dangerous.
    And in the swelling type fireproof materials, there are often phosphorus compounds, inhibitors, dispersions and other auxiliary ingredients. This material has or does not exist. If it is not treated properly, it may cause water and soil pollution, and affect the health of organisms. Especially for demolition, burning or disposal of waste materials, its waste materials are easy to be dispersed, and it can be properly managed. In recent years, many international organizations have promoted pollution prevention and source tracing, and have carefully evaluated the full impact of new flame retardant materials.
    However, due to proper production, application and proper management, the environmental damage of inflatable flame retardant materials is low, and will not cause immediate harm. Its main ingredients comply with the REACH law of the European Union, and do not eliminate high-risk toxic substances. The environment is safe and well managed. If it can be used in the field of fire protection, it will always be safe for the community.
    Therefore, this material has special functions in protecting life, and it should not be neglected to ensure safe use, management and maintenance.
    What materials can Intumescent Coating Flame Retardant Melamine be applied to?
    Intumescent Coating Flame Retardant Melamine is a good agent for new fire protection in this world. Its method is mainly melamine, with multiple chemical components, which expands in case of fire and turns into foam, blocking flames, and strengthening shelter. It is used in all kinds of materials, each with its own attention. Wood is the most, and plates, furniture, stairs, beams and columns of staff and houses can be applied. Wood is loose in nature, good at absorbing paint, and can be fireproof for a long time. Secondly, metal and steel structures, pipes, storage tanks, etc., although they do not spontaneously ignite, they are prone to failure at high temperatures. Coating with expansion paint can reduce heat attack and maintain the firmness of their structure. And such as concrete, stone and the like, although this fire-resistant, but a long time by the intense inflammation, fear of peeling and fragmentation, the application of the agent, to delay the temperature rise, improve its durability.
    There are plastic, rubber, cloth, glass and other ordinary man-made materials, little fire resistance. Especially polyurethane, polyethylene and other flammable, coated with its surface, the fire will raise the film expansion, oxygen barrier tight, can avoid the risk of fire. Cloth such as curtains, carpets, seat cushions, etc., through this expansion coating, suddenly miss the risk of ignition. Another example is the insulation board of electronic facilities, cable sheath, widely apply its agent to prevent short circuit or overload of the source of fire, to protect the safety of the facility.
    High-rise buildings, factory warehouses, ships, public theaters, tunnels and subways also rely on this method to prevent problems. Especially suitable for those who need high-grade fire protection. All morning materials, although widely different, only need to be coated properly, so that the ternary reaction is ready, and it will swell in case of fire. The foam is anti-inflammatory, and the cover can become a barrier of protection.
    is a melamine expansion fire retardant, which is widely applied to wood, gold, soil, stone, plastic, cloth, metal, glass and other materials. The beauty is that it protects itself in case of fire, not only to prevent the fire from spreading, but also to restore energy and increase the strength of the material. It is widely used and can be used to benefit the world.
    How long does Intumescent Coating Flame Retardant Melamine last?
    Intumescent Coating Flame Retardant Melamine is a modern fireproof material, widely used in many fields of construction, ships and electrical enclosures. It is strong and durable, and expands in case of fire, which can effectively delay the spread of fire and ensure the safety of people. However, its service life is not uniform, and it depends on its environment, coating thickness, substrate condition and maintenance method.
    The environment is dry and clean, and the sun, rain and frost are not very invasive. It is applied to high-quality steel and wood, and the thickness is moderate. With exquisite construction, the coating can last for more than ten years, and the fire resistance has not been reduced. If it is checked regularly, it is found that peeling and cracking are repaired in time, and its life can be longer. However, if the environment is humid and dusty, the temperature difference changes drastically, or it is repeatedly affected by impact and friction, the expansion coating is easily damaged, and its life may be reduced to five or six years, or even three years.
    As for the quality of the formula, it is also related to the length of life. Made of high-quality melamine (Melamine), it has good bonding, acid and alkali corrosion resistance, and UV resistance, so it lasts longer. And inferior raw materials, many bubbles, cracks, and water vapor intrude, causing the coating film to peel off, which is difficult to last for a long time.
    According to the regulations, it should be checked regularly, and it is appropriate to check it every two or three years. If it is damaged, it should be repaired immediately to prolong its life. In the event of a fire, although not all of it falls off, the fire resistance has mostly been reduced and needs to be re-coated to fix the original.
    From this perspective, the lifespan of Intumescent Coating Flame Retardant Melamine ranges from three to fifteen years. Its long-term, the management of personnel, good maintenance can last for a long time, and it is vulnerable to loss of care. Careful maintenance is the long-term protection of fire prevention, and the protection of people and money is safe.
