Fire is a destructive force affecting lives, environments, economies, and properties in several ways. Increasing the fire safety of your beloved one, property or valuable things is not something to think about in the future, but is something to do right now. Fire retardant paint, a passive fire protection coating acts to resist the spread of fire. The definition of a fire retardant coating is often interchanged with the term “fire-resistant,” but there is a difference. A fire-resistant coating doesn’t support flame when an ignition source is applied. On the other hand, a fire retardant coating protects the substrate from burning. However, the mechanism of protection is less important to the final result in performance-based testing.
