What is the difference between porcelain film coating and traditional fireproof coating?

Ceramic film coating and traditional fireproof coating are two widely used coatings in fire prevention. Ceramic film coating is a new and efficient fireproof coating, which has many differences compared to traditional fireproof coatings. Here, we will compare the differences between these two types of coatings.

1、 The principle is different

Traditional fireproof coatings mainly reduce the combustion rate and heat release rate by filling flame-retardant substances to achieve the purpose of fire prevention. Unlike ceramic film coatings, ceramic film coatings mainly form a layer of ceramic oxide film under combustion conditions to isolate the combustion source and air, thereby achieving the effect of fire prevention.

2、 Different coating properties

Traditional fireproof coatings have good fire resistance, but their durability, adhesion, color and other properties are relatively poor. While the porcelain film coating is fireproof, it also has good anti-aging, waterproof, corrosion resistance, heat resistance, weather resistance and other properties. In addition, ceramic film coatings have bright and uniform colors, and can also achieve various fire ratings and primers by adjusting the formula.

3、 Different construction methods

The construction of traditional fireproof coatings is more complicated and requires strict adherence to construction standards. Ceramic film coatings are relatively simple to apply, and their single component, water-based, and low coating thickness characteristics make them more convenient and fast to apply during the construction process. In addition, ceramic film coatings can be applied through different methods such as spraying, brushing, and roller coating, and suitable methods can be selected according to actual needs.

4、 Price difference

Traditional fireproof coatings are relatively cheap in terms of price, but due to their large coating thickness and poor appearance, they also have high requirements for customers. The price of ceramic film coating is relatively higher, but it has also gained the favor of many users due to its high efficiency, fire resistance, and good performance.

Overall, both ceramic film coatings and traditional fire-resistant coatings have their own advantages, disadvantages, and applicable scenarios. Users should comprehensively consider their actual needs and relevant requirements when selecting, in order to choose the most suitable coating material.
