Daily Quiz (47)

A team of researchers from Texas A&M University recently presented a new type of coating that could limit the __________ of wood used in construction.

In a recent JPCL article, how many epoxy passive fire protective coatings were subject to a newly developed testing protocol designed to assess performance in the event of a hydrocarbon fire?

Fire-resistant coatings are designed:

Recently, researchers from the University of Liverpool were awarded 615,000 pounds (roughly $809,235) in funding for the development of this type of coating:

SSPC: The Society for Protective Coatings published its “Fact Sheet: Use of Hazardous Materials including Flammables in Confined Spaces” at the request of the Chemical Safety Board after what deadly fire?

True or false: NFPA 34 is the standard for the manufacture of organic coatings.

True or false: Sprayed fire-resistive materials are intumescent coatings.

True or false: HUD publishes fire resistance ratings of archaic building materials.

Intumescent coatings must contain an acid source, a carbon source and what other component?

True or false: Both cementitious and fibrous spray-applied, fire-resistant materials can contain Portland cement binders.

True or false: UL1709 is the test that provides a method of determining the flammability characteristics of exterior, non-load-bearing wall assemblies/panels.

True or false: Tests of fire resistive materials are conducted in real fire conditions.

What organization publishes the technical manual Standard Practice for the Testing and Inspection of Intumescent Fire-Resistive Materials?

True or false: Testing of fire-resistive materials for a cellulosic fire requires a gradually increasing temperature until it reaches 2,000 F after an hour.

True or false: HUD publishes fire resistance ratings of archaic building materials.

True or false: Mixed metal oxide pigments produced at high temperatures are used for fire resistance in coatings.

True or false: The NFPA has a standard measuring the functional durability of spray-applied, fire-resistive coatings.

True or false: UL publishes the technical manual Standard Practice for the Testing and Inspection of Intumescent Fire-Resistive Materials.

True or false: According to a PaintSquare blogger in speaking about the Grenfell Tower fire, fire-resistive tests “serve as comparative, and not predictive, tools.”

True or false: UL (Underwriters Laboratories) publishes inspection manuals dealing with spray-applied, fire-resistive coating materials.

True or false: FRCMs is the acronym for gypsum-based or cementitious fire-resistant materials.

According to ASTM, what is the function of a fire-retardant coating?

What organization publishes fire-resistance data on archaic building materials?

True or false: Sprayed fire-resistive materials are intumescent coatings.

Cementitious, fire-resistive coatings for unexposed structural steel in buildings often contain which of these materials?

What organization has a standard measuring the functional durability of spray-applied, fire-resistive coatings?

What is the acronym for gypsum-based or cementitious fire-resistant materials?

True or false: Fire-resistive, intumescent coatings sometimes have epoxy and sometimes acrylic resin systems.

True or false: Fire-resistive and fire-retardant paints perform the same function.

True or false: UL will not approve an intumescent, fire-resistive coating material if it is topcoated.

Cementitious, fire-resistive coatings for unexposed structural steel in buildings often contain which of these materials?

True or False: Fire resistance ratings of materials protected with intumescent coatings are expressed in the (degrees Fahrenheit) temperature that the coating can withstand before it fails.

True or false: UL will not approve an intumescent, fire-resistive coating material if it is topcoated.

What organization publishes the technical manual Standard Practice for the Testing and Inspection of Intumescent Fire-Resistive Materials?

True or false: Some fire-resistant, intumescent coatings are used on wood substrates.

True or false: Primers and topcoats used with intumescent, fire-resistant coatings, as well as the intumescent coatings themselves, require UL approval.

True or false: Fire-resistant, intumescent coatings for steel are applied in one to three coats.

Which of the following statements about intumescent, fire-resistive coatings is not true?

Cementitious, fire-resistive coatings for unexposed structural steel in buildings often contain which of these materials?

True or false: Intumescent, fire-resistive coatings cannot be applied with plural-component spray equipment.

Accordiing to UL's Fire Resistance Directory, how is a coating categorized when its purpose is to reduce flame spread?

True or false: To achieve good esthetics and fire resistance on exposed structural steel in building interiors, cementitious spray-applied fire resistant materials should be used.

True or false: UL will not approve an intumescent, fire-resistive coating material if it is topcoated.

What organization publishes inspection manuals dealing with spray-applied, fire-resistive coating materials?

True or false: Primers and topcoats used with intumescent, fire-resistant coatings, as well as the intumescent coatings themselves, require the approval of Underwriters Laboratories.

True or false: The fire-resistance ratings of intumescent coatings are expressed in terms of hours, indicating how long the coating can adequately protect the substrate in a fire.

What is the main reason that thin-film intumescent fire-resistant coatings are preferred in clean-room environments rather than cementitious fireproofing?
