This article discusses one of the methods of fire protection, namely, the coating of metal structures with fire retardant paints. Intumescent coatings are currently the most widely used. Fire retardant coatings based on epoxy paints have high performance characteristics and are promising. As the foaming component, the system of ammonium polyphosphate - pentaerythritol - melamine (in a ratio of 2: 1: 1) was selected. The fire retardant properties of the developed material were investigated. Coatings on the base of the developed fire retardant paint allow us to increase own level of fire resistance of metal constructions up to three (90 minutes).

Natural fibre composite is potentially used as low load bearing material in building infrastructure field (light weight application). Nevertheless, the ability of materials against thermal and fire must be good. In this work, the incorporation of the phosphorus based intumescent flame retardant (IFR), ammonium polyphosphate (APP) into the jute fabric composite (JC) with different formulations were fabricated to analyze its fire-retardant properties. The physical, flammability and thermal properties of the untreated and treated composites were investigated with the support by FESEM and EDX analysis. Based on the results, the density of treated JC was higher than untreated sample due to the impregnation of APP. In terms of fire-retardant properties, the JC samples treated by APP were able to improve the thermal and flammability of the composites. The enhancement of fire-retardant properties of JC can improve its potential to be used as low load bearing material in building infrastructure applications.
