Abstract:
Test methods given in EN 13381-4:2013 and EN 13381-8:2013 standards serve to assess the fire-protective capacity of materials for steel structures. The results of the tests determine data on minimum thickness of fire-protective materials used further in design of steel structures. The tests are very time consuming. They require significant costs for creation of standardized samples and conduction of tests. At the same time, there are methods, which propose to use samples of reduced sizes and of other shapes than sizes and shapes of standardized samples. There is an actual question about possib

As such, physical properties that are important with a material applied at five mils may not be relevant to a coating applied at 100 times that thickness.

Abstract:
Abstract Building materials are routinely tested for flammability. Paints are also evaluated for flammability but because of their typical low applied thickness, coatings contribute very little fuel to a fire and do not normally need to be fire tested. Coatings, unless they are specially formulated fire protective coatings, like intumescent coatings, do not significantly affect the flammability of the substrate to which they are applied. It is the substrate rather than the coating which dictates the flammability. Thick film coatings, however, can influence surface flammability.
