Fire Performance of Intumescent Waterborne Coatings with Encapsulated APP for Wood Constructions

In this work, intumescent coatings were prepared for protection of wood from fire. The fire-retardant chemical ammonium polyphosphate (APP) is known to have poor resistance to water and high humidity as it is hygroscopic in nature. To improve the water resistance, durability and fire resistance of t...
