The function of fire protection paint in real fires
The study showed that the ad hoc tests with roof and fire plume scenarios were not clearly more decisive in terms of adhesion than the standardized test. But in these tests it is possible to characterize and regulate the flow around the specimens in a much better way than in standardized furnace tests where this is in principle impossible. This makes these types of tests a better tool for evaluating the adhesion of swelling fire protection paints at high temperatures, as it is often what determines the efficiency of the systems.
