Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of building coatings, and particularly relates to a light-weight gypsum foaming fireproof coating for steel structure and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Fireproof coating is a kind of building coating with fireproof function, which has decoration and protection, and is mainly used to improve the fire resistance of materials, has the functions of fireproofing, heat insulation and preventing fire from spreading, and has the function of delaying the expansion of combustion, and is a kind of coating which can prolong the combustion of base material and the destruction of structure.

[0003] According to the main use and use object of the fireproof coating, the fireproof coating can be divided into steel structure fireproof coating, wood structure fireproof coating, decorative fireproof coating, cable fireproof coating, concrete structure fireproof coating and tunnel fireproof coating. According to the dispersion medium, the fireproof coating can be divided into solvent type fireproof coating and water-based type fireproof coating. The former uses organic solvent as the dispersion medium, has good drying performance and construction performance, but may cause certain harm to human body and environment; the latter uses water as the dispersion medium, has better environmental protection performance, but has relatively slow drying speed. According to the fireproof mechanism, the fireproof coating can be divided into intumescent fireproof coating and non-intumescent fireproof coating. The intumescent fireproof coating will expand to form a foam layer when heated, effectively insulating heat and oxygen and delaying the spread of fire; the non-intumescent fireproof coating mainly prevents the spread of fire through its own fire resistance and heat insulation performance. According to the base material, the fireproof coating can be divided into organic fireproof coating, inorganic fireproof coating and organic-inorganic composite fireproof coating. The composite fireproof coating has poor aging resistance and degradation performance, and may not achieve the fireproof effect after being oxidized for a long time, and generates a large amount of toxic smoke. Even if a large amount of flame retardant is added, since the boiling point of the general flame retardant is less than 300 DEG C, the environmental temperature can be as high as 1000-1200 DEG C when fire occurs, and the flame retardant volatilizes, so the fireproof performance is still not ideal.

[0004] As an important fire safety material, fireproof coating plays a crucial role in protecting buildings and people's lives and property. At present, with the acceleration of urbanization and the improvement of building safety awareness, the demand for fireproof coating is increasing. From the market application, steel structure fireproof coating is the main body of the market, and is widely used in high-rise buildings, large workshops and other building structures.
