Improving the safety of oil and gas facilities by improving flame retardants

Introduction. One of the ways to reduce fire hazard at industrial facilities is application intumescent coatings. It known that compositions are multicomponent composite materials, whose effectiveness due complex chemical transformations components studied flame retardant exposed high temperatures. In this regard, problem studying physicochemical processes and thermophysical characteristics thermal expansion materials in demand relevant. The purpose article analyze properties water- acrylic compound-based retardants improve safety oil gas facilities. To accomplish purpose, following objectives were attained: dispersion-based using methods analysis; analyzing aqueous making a comparative analysis thermo-oxidative degradation materials. Methods. During study, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, quadrupole mass spectrometry chosen as main methods. Results. As result studies performed synchronous retardants, similarity ongoing was identified, including presence four stages loss exothermic effect. This effect has proven flammability Conclusions. Following authors have concluded containing vinyl acetate emulsion dispersion, begin lose their performance characteristics, necessary for material, when temperature reaches approximately ~600 °C.
