Abstract

[Objective/Significance]Intumescent fireproof coatings play a vital role in the oil andgas industry by slowing down the heating rate of steel structures in fire scenarios through intumescentfoaming,thereby gaining time for personnel evacuation and fire-fighting,reducing fire-induced losses.[Analysis/Discussion/Progress]This paper introduced the requirements for fireproof coatings in theoil and gas field and the relevant standard systems,compared common types of fireproof coatings,and noted that solvent-free epoxy fireproof coatings have become the industry preference due to theirexcellent comprehensive properties. Furthermore,it provided an in-depth analysis of the latest research progress in solvent-free epoxy fireproof coatings,covering modification to resin systems,optimization of intumescent foaming flame-retardant systems,and the application of functional pigments and fillers.[Conclusion/Prospect]Solvent-free epoxy fireproof coatings are widely used in offshore oil platformsand onshore petrochemical facilities. Future development of fireproof coatings is expected to focus ongreen and environmental-friendly properties, long-term durability, adaptability to extreme environments,and high efficiency.
