The invention discloses a nanometer 
fire retardant coating and a preparation method thereof. The 
coating comprises 
inorganic filler, a film-forming agent, a firm-forming aid, a 
plasticizer, a cross-linking agent and a drier, wherein the 
inorganic filler is a modified nanometer composite particle of an inorganic 
nanometer particle of which the surface is covered with 
silicon dioxide particles. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: adding the inorganic 
nanometer particle to a 
sodium silicate aqueous solution; agitating; adjusting with acid; 
ageing to obtain mixed 
sol; performing suction 
filtration and washing for the mixed 
sol; 
drying to obtain the composite particle; sequentially adding the composite particle and a 
silane coupling agent to 
ethanol while stirring to perform 
reflux reaction so as to obtain reaction liquid; alternately centrifugally washing and separating the reaction liquid with 
ethanol to obtain the modified nanometer composite particle; and then mixing the modified nanometer composite particle, the firm-forming agent, the firm-forming aid, the 
plasticizer, the cross-linking agent and the drier and performing ball milling, so as to obtain the target product. The nanometer 
fire retardant coating can perform endothermic reaction to produce a 
ceramic heat insulating layer in different stages of a fire, and can be widely applied to various situations requiring 
fire resistance and inflaming retarding performance.
