The fundamental purpose of protective coatings and linings has always been the protection of structures from the degradation due to environmental and service conditions. While that remains to be the case, coatings are increasingly evaluated on their environmental, health, and safety effects as well as the various operational efficiencies they offer.

Flammability of Coatings

Product Number: 41209-477-SG

Author: Paul P. Greiggger

Publication Date: 2009

$20.00

Building materials are routinely tested for flammability. Paints are also evaluated for flammability but because of their typical low applied thickness, coatings contribute very little fuel to a fire and do not normally need to be fire tested. Coatings, unless they are specially formulated fire protective coatings, like intumescent coatings, do not significantly affect the flammability of the substrate to which they are applied. It is the substrate rather than the coating which dictates the flammability. Thick film coatings, however, can influence surface flammability.
