The term “fire-retardant wood paints” includes a wide range of coatings products mandatory in some places (generally public buildings such as schools, hospitals, gyms, cinemas, libraries, theatres, airports, banks, tourist facilities, fitness centres, exhibition stands, shops, etc.) where it is crucial that the furnishings perform self-extinguishing or fire retarding behaviours so that, once the fire trigger has been stopped, the combustion ends.
The goal is to delay as longer as possible the fire propagation since every minute of delay in the flame propagation can be essential to save human lives.
