The use of waste from electrochemical production to increase the fire resistance of polymer thermal insulation coatings
Incoming article date: 19.05.2020The results of the development of a polymer fire-resistant heat-insulating coating containing waste from electrochemical production for thermal insulation of hot metal surfaces of industrial equipment and building structures, working surfaces of pipelines are presented. The coating is developed on the basis of acrylic binder, hollow carbon microspheres, antifoam, pigment and flame retardant based on waste electrochemical production - galvanic sludge. The use of hollow carbon microspheres as a filler in the amount of 14.0 to 38.0 wt. including reduces the thermal conductivity of the coating, and the use as a flame retardant additive, pre-dried and finely ground galvanic sludge in an amount of 5 to 15 wt. h., gives the cured heat-insulating coating fire-resistant properties. Studies have shown that the use of this composition allows you to get a polymer heat-insulating coating with good physico-mechanical and flame retardant properties, while another problem is solved - the safe disposal of galvanic sludge.
