Fire-resistant coatings distinguish themselves from regular coatings by serving a crucial function: providing additional time for evacuation in fire emergencies. Their primary role l ies in preventing structural collapse and offering insulation during fires, a function widely acknowledged and substantiated through certification evaluations conducted on numerous products worldwide. Key evaluation methods encompass BS, EN, UL, and class certifications.

Cities represent intricate tapestries of diverse infrastructures where elements with distinct functions coexist in a complex harmony. Notably, high high-rise buildings, which exert a signifi cant influence on a city's aesthetics, serve a purpose that extends beyond their architectural significance. Their role encompasses the protection of lives and property in the face of calamity. In the unfortunate event of a fire within a steel steel-framed struc ture, a myriad of factors comes into play: combustion gases, flames, intense heat, and harmful smoke. The heightened temperature of the blaze threatens the structure's integrity, intensifying the risk of structural collapse. This is where the significance of fire fire-resistant coatings becomes apparent. When exposed to high temperatures, these coatings undergo a transformative process, expanding and evolving into an insulating layer. This layer acts as a robust barrier, preventing the searing heat from infiltra ting the steel framework. This critical delay provides occupants with precious moments to safely evacuate.
In this study, we delve into the evolution of the core technology underpinning the foaming mechanism of fire fire-resistant paint, tracing its historical development. Furthermore, we investigate how various countries establish, quantify, and validate performance standards for fire fire-resistant paint in practical settings, emphasizing its vital functions. Special attention is directed towards the evaluation of firefire-resistant paint during actual fire incidents. Additionally, our research assesses the risks associated with combustion gases generated during fires, contributing to the development of more environmentally sustainable fire fire-resistant paints. To conclud e, we present a noteworthy case study that illustrates the unique application of fire fire-resistant paint within the Korean context.
