Fire-retardant coatings for mine timber. Effect of coating thickness
Fire risk in timbered mine roadways can be reduced by giving timber fire-retardant treatment; impregnation of timber by suitable salts provides best means of treatment, but surface coatings are only form of treatment that can be applied to standing timber; main variable affecting performance of coating, within control of user, is its thickness; it is recommended that, in mines, coatings of sodium silicate/limestone compound should be 1.02 mm (0.040 in.) thick if applied to hardwood and 3.2 mm (0.125 in.) thick if applied to softwood.
