The invention discloses 
hydrotalcite type water-based facing fireproof 
coating, which is composed of the following components: 3-7 parts of 
carbonate hydrotalcite; 1-2 parts of 
cellulose; 4-6 parts of a dispersant; 0.5 to 2 parts of a defoaming agent; 6 to 11 parts of 
pentaerythritol; 15 to 20 parts of 
ammonium polyphosphate; 8 to 12 parts of 
melamine; 1-3 parts of light 
calcium carbonate; 2-4 parts of 
titanium dioxide; 8 to 12 parts of 
emulsion; 1-3 parts of 
urea; and 33-42 parts of water. According to the invention, the 
carbonate hydrotalcite with 
flame-retardant effect is adopted to replace part of 
pentaerythritol, 
ammonium polyphosphate and 
melamine, part of skeleton, foaming and 
flame-retardant effects are undertaken, and the cost of the fireproof 
coating is greatly reduced while the same performance is achieved. In addition, due to the fact that hydrotalcite is heated to generate 
carbon dioxide and 
water vapor, 
flame retardance is achieved, meanwhile, the temperature of a 
combustion area is reduced, and the flame-retardant time of the fireproof 
coating is prolonged. Moreover, the 
hardness of the hardened hydrotalcite is higher, so that the 
impact resistance of a coating film of the facing fireproof coating is improved. Compared with 
ammonium polyphosphate, the 
solubility of the carbonate type hydrotalcite is lower, so that the 
water resistance of the coating film of the facing fireproof coating containing the carbonate type hydrotalcite is more excellent.
