  • the coating composition was a solution of the components (and did not include solid particles).
  • the solution was prepared by adding 200 g of commercially available 40% sodium silicate solution, 100 g ATH, 60 g zinc oxide, 5 g iron oxide (FesCL), 2 g sodium bicarbonate, 60 g 50% caustic soda solution, and 30 g water were added to a plastic container then stirred for 2 minutes with a 1 inch (2.5 cm) diameter blade shear mixer.
  • the coating composition was sprayed on the surface of a steel tube to form a uniform coating with no visible cracks.
  • the steel tube with coating was then subjected to heat up to approximately 1,000 °F (538 °C), cooled and subject to stress by hitting the coating with a hammer while upon a metal support surface.
  • the coating composition was a solution of the components used for spray coating onto a flat thermoplastic panel substrate.
  • the solution was prepared by adding 10 lbs. (4.54 kg) of commercially available 40% sodium silicate solution, 3.5 lbs. (1.59 kg) ATH, 3.0 lbs. (1.36 kg) zinc oxide, 3.0 lbs. (1.36 kg) wollastonite, 0.5 lbs. (0.23 kg) iron oxide (FesC ), 0.1 lbs (45.4 g) sodium bicarbonate, 2.5 lbs. (0.91 kg) 50% caustic soda solution, and 2.25 lbs. water were added to a 5 gallon (18.93 L) bucket and then stirred for 5 minutes with a 2 inch (5.1 cm) diameter blade shear mixer. The blend was allowed to sit for 48 hours, with re-mixing occurring occasionally to allow for maximum dissolution of components.
  • the coating composition was poured through a 125 mesh strainer into the reservoir of an airless paint sprayer.

  • the applied coating composition was allowed to dry for 30 minutes at ambient temperature and the practice was repeated until there were 3 coating layers on the substrate.
  • the panel formed was tested for flame resistance by placing the sample flat on a ring stand 3 in. (7.6 cm) directly above a methane Bunsen burner for 30 seconds, removed from the flame for 30 seconds, and then burned again for 30 seconds. No melting or burning of the panel substrate was observed.
  • cure conditions for an applied coating composition of the present disclosure can affect the hardness of a coating made from the composition.
  • a fire resistant coating composition was applied to the surface of panels under different application and cure conditions and Barcol hardness of the cured coatings were tested. Barcol hardness was determined with an INSIZE hardness tester on at least three different points of the sample and an average hardness was reported. Results from this testing are reported in Table 1 below. Table 1 : Barcol hardness of fire resistant geopolymer coating prepared with varying cure and postcure cycles.
  • This example shows weight loss in forming a fire resistant coating from a coating composition of the present application. It is believed the coating compositions of the present disclosure form a geopolymer coating.
  • the cure mechanism of geopolymers includes the consumption of OH ions from the caustic coating solution to form metal-ates i.e. silicates, aluminates, zincates, etc. as well as the evaporation of water as the metal -ate ions form into geopolymeric chains.
  • a coating composition was mixed and samples were then drawn from the composition and measured for weight loss throughout the duration of curing the coating composition on the samples. The coating composition and the data gathered are displayed in Table 2 below.
  • Fire barrier characteristics of a coating from a coating composition according to the present disclosure were determined in this example. Samples were submitted for third-party evaluation by way of the ASTM E-84-21a tunnel test. Total sample area for this test was 48 ft 2 (4.46 m 2 ) with dimensions of 2 feet (0.61 m) wide by 24 feet (7.32 m) long. Two sets of samples were prepared: one using wood oriented strand board (OSB) and one with a pultruded fiberglass/iso-polyester resin composite panel. Sample preparation and test results are given in Table 3 below.
  • OSB wood oriented strand board
  • Table 3 ASTM E-84 fire tunnel test results of panels with a fire resistant coating according to the present disclosure.
  • the E-84 flame spread index performance of OSB products is between 76 - 200 when un-coated, depending on wood and glue content in the product.
  • the flame spread index performance was successfully reduced such that the coated OSB could be classified as “Class A” which is desirable in many building and construction applications.
  • the wide-spread use of OSB in housing and commercial construction could benefit greatly from fire resistant coating compositions of the present disclosure which can be readily applied to such substrates as shown by this example.
  • the flame spread performance of the coated pultruded fiberglass/iso-polyester resin composite panel matched that of the coated OSB.
  • the substrate itself produced smoke which exceeded the smoke index qualification to meet Class A. Nevertheless, the composite panel showed improved fire resistance with the particular coating formed in this example.
  • the coating composition was a solution of the components that included 100 parts Sodium Silicate (40% solution in H2O), 50 parts ATH, 50 parts Zinc Oxide, and 20 parts Sodium Hydroxide (50% solution in H2O)
  • a sample of sodium silicate was prepared.
  • XRD analysis was performed on the Sodium silicate shown in Fig 1 and Example 5 shown in Fig. 2.
  • Fig. 1 Sodium silicate forms an amorphous domain. XRD analysis of this produces two very broad peaks.
  • introduction of a metal oxide, i.e., aluminum hydroxide and zinc oxide
