Due to ever-increasing awareness of resource sufficiency, climate change mitigation and circularity of materials, many industrial sectors, including paints & coating industry, are looking for novel solutions for replacement of fossil-based and toxic materials. Cellulose as a nature-based, sustainable and versatile material is a potential replacement for many synthetic materials. Especially cellulose nanomaterials, such as microfibrillated cellulose (MFC), with their unique nano-specific properties have gained a lot of interest recently in various end applications.
In this presentation, the mechanism behind the fire resistivity of the MFC-pigment coatings will be further elaborated. In addition, the approach of the FireCellCoat project will be explained together with the first results obtained.
Keywords: microfibril, cellulose, fire-resistant coatings
