Abstract

A mass of heat and high concentration smoke are produced in building fires. Interactions of the paint on the walls and the high temperature smoke may occur in many types of fires scenarios. Experiments and chemical analysis have been conducted in a bench-scale device with the above assumption proved on the basis of the results. Painted boards with white latex paint displaced in the device make significantly high concentrations of some species of smoke and increase the smoke hazard.
