Abstract:In this work the influence of paint loading on the time to ignition is investigated for chipboard and plywood. Unpainted and painted specimens, 100-mm-square, 18-mmthick, were subjected to constant incident heat fluxes of 35, 50 and 65 kWm -2 in a cone calorimeter. The time to ignition, mass loss rate and heat release rate are reported as functions of time and of the initial dried mass of paint on the sample (as opposed to number of coats reported in previous work by others). It was found that addition of a sm… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
