The Treatment of Traditional Papua New Guinea Building Materials to Resist Fire
Traditional Papua New Guinea building materials were treated with Dulux “Firebrake” an intumescent paint, to investigate their fire-retardani characteristics.
The project endeavoured to improve the performance of these materials in fire, and, by persuading Building Authorities to approve the use of treated traditional materials in urban areas, encourage their wider use. Samples of 1 m x 1 m woven bamboo and pitpit (a reed) mats, some painted with Dulux “Firebrake”, others untreated, had a naked flame applied to them to investigate their fire retardant characteristics. The Dulux “Firebrake” improved the fire-retardant characteristics of the bamboo mats considerably. This test was also carried out on a plywood door (30 minute fire rating) and was used as the basis for comparing the results. The pitpit mat with 2 coats of “Firebrake” was insufficiently protected, while the 3-and 4-coat mats were far superior in their flame retardant characteristics.
