1、Designation:D136098(Reapproved 2011)Standard Test Method forFire Retardancy of Paints(Cabinet Method)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D1360;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision
2、.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method determines quantitatively the fireretardant properties of a coating or coating system on a woodsurface and the leaching
3、 effect of water on the fire retardancyof the coating or coating system.Specifically,this test methoddetermines the weight loss and char index of coated panelssubjected to a flame and the effect of leaching of the coating onthese parameters.1.2 This test method should be used solely to measure andde
4、scribe the properties of materials,products,or systems inresponse to heat and flame under controlled laboratory condi-tions and should not be considered or used for the description,appraisal,or regulation of the fire hazard of materials,products,or systems under actual fire conditions.1.3 The values

7、Cabinet Assembly33.Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 fire retardancy,n in paint,the ability of a paint toretard the spread of a flame over coated substrate usually at thesacrifice of the paint film.4.Summary of Test Method4.1 Fire RetardancyPanels are conditioned be
8、fore andafter coating with the material under test.They are subjected toa flame from a small amount of burning alcohol or othersolvent,and the weight loss and char index are determined.4.2 LeachingSimilarly prepared panels are immersed inwater for a specified time and then subjected to the fire-reta
9、rdancy test.The weight loss,char index,and difference inweight loss and char index between leached and unleachedpanels are determined.5.Significance and Use5.1 This test method determines the relative fire-retardantproperties of coatings and the water leaching of the fire-retardant material from the
