Phase I-Novel bio-based phosphorous containing formaldehyde-free fire-retardant wood coatings

防火木器涂料被用作被动式防火系统的一部分，以确保建筑安全。随着全球建筑活动的增加，人们对使用低碳抗冲击木质材料的需求越来越高，以及更严格的防火法规要求，防火木器涂料的市场预计在不久的将来将快速增长。最近，我们开发了一种新的合成方法，利用无毒的香兰素生物分子和环保的含磷阻燃剂制备膨胀型无甲醛防火涂料，用于木材防火。在过去非常有希望的结果的基础上，我们建议进行进一步的开发工作，进行更大批量的合成，进行行业要求的ASTM防火性能测试，并在此NSERC中添加UV固化功能 第一阶段I2I项目。从这个I2I项目中获得的结果将使这项技术对商业化的公司更具吸引力。成功地将这些产品推向市场，将有助于扩大加拿大的制造业和化工行业，提高加拿大的竞争力，并为我们高素质的研究生提供就业机会。使用可再生生物衍生原料取代石油衍生化学品也将为加拿大带来额外的环境效益。此外，这些小说 高性能环保膨胀型防火涂料将帮助加拿大木材生产商开发新的附加值防火木材产品，进一步扩大他们在生物经济中的市场份额。

Fireproofing wood coatings are used as part of passive fire protection system to ensure building safety. With increased global construction activities, higher desire to use low-carbon impact wood-based materials, and more stringent fire code requirements, the market for fireproofing wood coatings is forecasted to grow at a rapid pace in the near future. Recently, we have developed a novel synthesis method that uses non-toxic vanillin biomolecule and environmentally-friendly phosphorous containing fire-retardant to make intumescent fire-retardant formaldehyde-free coatings for the protection of wood from fire. Building on the past highly promising results , we propose to conduct further developmental work by performing larger batch synthesis, carrying out industry required ASTM fire performance test, and adding UV curing functionality in this NSERC Phase 1 I2I project. Results obtained from this I2I project will make the technology more attractive to companies for commercialization. Success in bringing these products to market will contribute to expanding Canada's manufacturing and chemical sectors, increase Canada's competitiveness, and provide jobs for our highly qualified graduate students. Using renewable bio-derived feedstock to replace petroleum-derived chemicals will also bring additional environmental benefits to Canada. Moreover, these novel high-performance environmentally-friendly intumescent fire-retardant coatings will help Canadian wood producers to develop new value-added fireproofing wood products to further grow their market shares in the bioeconomy.
