Steel structure fire retardant coatings are divided into indoor and outdoor. In the last issue, we shared the testing performance instrument scheme of indoor fire retardant coatings. In this issue, we share what physical and chemical performance tests and specific technical indicators are required for outdoor steel structure fire retardant coatings.
The environment faced by outdoor fire retardant coatings is much more complicated than indoors, with wind, sun, and rain, so the performance testing items for outdoor coatings are more than the multi-climate performance testing index items for indoor fire retardant coatings.
So what performance indicators need to be tested for outdoor fire retardant coatings? Including the state in the container, drying time, initial drying crack resistance, bond strength, compressive strength, dry density, heat insulation efficiency deviation, pH value, violent heat resistance, heat and humidity resistance, freeze-thaw cycle resistance, Acid and alkali resistance, salt spray corrosion resistance, ultraviolet radiation resistance, etc.
The following are the testing items specified in the GB/T 14907 standard. A set of mid-range instrument testing schemes are configured from the north and south tides as follows:
