Passive fire protection of wood using some bio-derived fire retardants

Fire Safety Journal, 2021
Abstract In the present paper, we report on some preliminary findings relating to the passive fire protection efficiencies of some bio-inspired substrates, which included: starch, chitosan, rice bran and fish gelatin. With a view to enhancing the passive fire protection attributes of the substrates, we prepared formulations of them with both ...

Performance Assessment of Passive Fire Protection Materials

Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, 2011
The performance of fireproofing materials in providing effective protection from fire strongly depends on the thermophysical properties and on the behavior of the material during fire exposure. Not only active insulators but also nonactive coatings may undergo significant changes in their structure and properties when exposed to high temperatures.

PASSIVE FIRE PROTECTION FOR ALUMINUM STRUCTURES

Naval Engineers Journal, 1975
ABSTRACTThis paper describes a small scale fire endurance test program sponsored by the Naval Sea Systems Command to screen candidate thermal insulation systems for passive fire protection of aluminum structures.An incombustible thermal Insulation system tested in 1–3/4 inch thickness provided the same degree of fire protection as three inches of a ...

Passive fire protection for major transformers

3D Africon Conference. Africon '92 Proceedings (Cat. No.92CH3215), 2003
Eskom's passive fire protection philosophy for major transformers is described. The term "major" refers to the size of the transformer in terms of its oil capacity. The passive fire protection philosophy used for transformers can also be applied to other major oil-filled equipment located in high-voltage yards, e.g., shunt reactors and neutral earth ...

Sodium‐based fire resistant geopolymer for passive fire protection

Fire and Materials, 2014
SummaryThis paper primarily deals with the examination of the performance under thermal loading of a fire resistant sodium‐based geopolymer from Ferronickel slag. In addition, the mechanical, physical and thermal properties of material and their respective variation with time were measured.
