A few extra coats of 'paint' could be all that the steel in a building needs to prevent itself from buckling and failing in a fire. Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU ...

SINGAPORE -- Researchers at Nanyang Technological University has developed a coating that they say makes wood “fireproof’ while allowing the woodgrain to show through. The coating, about 75 microns ...

An invisible coating that can “fireproof” wood has been invented by scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore). With the popularity of mass engineered timber growing in ...

(Nanowerk News) A spray- or brush-applied fire retardant coating made from nanocellulose is well suited for improving the fire properties of wood-based materials. It reduces the access of oxygen to ...

Tough new fire-resistant coating materials called HIPS ('hybrid inorganic polymer system') are being developed by CSIRO researchers in Melbourne. HIPS coatings can withstand temperatures of over ...

Researchers at IMDEA Materials Institute have developed a fire-resistant coating applicable to the aluminium panels commonly used in protective battery casings and housings. The coating has been shown ...

Researchers are developing a new kind of flame-retardant coating using renewable, nontoxic materials readily found in nature, which could provide even more effective fire protection for several widely ...

A few extra coats of ‘paint’ could be all that the steel in a building needs to prevent itself from buckling and failing in a fire, suggests new research. A few extra coats of 'paint' could be all ...
