Fire-retardant effect of titania-polyurea coating and additional enhancement via aromatic diamine and modified melamine polyphosphate

Abstract Polymeric materials and composites are well suited to support structures in marine conditions due their corrosion resistance. However, low glass transition temperature makes them vulnerable softening at high temperatures. Hence, fire retardancy is a key aspect if these selected ensure stiffness under flammable conditions. In this paper, fire-retardant polyurea coating for industrial applications proposed. The aromatic diamine aliphatic diisocyanate believed have synergistic effect improving flame properties. Moreover, various combinations of flame-retardant additives with aliphatic-based mixed further improve fire-retardancy. Through the characterizations delay ignition, it indicates that combination Talc melamine polyphosphate may provide an outstanding enhancement Titania-polyurea coating, such its original tensile compression strength, surface hardness as well.
