All existing and applied technologies in the development of new intumescent coatings (IC) have been studied. A description of the composition and mechanism of action of IC is given. Promising areas of research and development of new fire-resistant coatings and materials, including those using carbon nanotubes and intercalated graphite, are described. Examples of the use of new film formers for the creation of IC are given, in particular: chlorine-containing epoxy resins, fluoropolymers and vinyl alkyds. The problem of protecting lithium-ion batteries from fire has been raised.

The possibility of obtaining coalescence-resistant emulsions of LidAlkid 60-L alkyd resin (JSC Lakokraska, Lida, Republic of Belarus) in the presence of talc particles is shown. The properties of coatings obtained on the basis of these emulsions are studied.

The article is devoted to the development of formulations of epoxy grouting compositions for interlayer seams of typical colors. Low molecular weight epoxy resin was used as a film-forming agent, titanium dioxide and yellow iron oxide pigment were used as pigments, aluminum oxide and bentonite were used as fillers. The developed materials have minimal shrinkage, are resistant to detergents, are hydrophobic and meet the requirements for compositions for interplate joints.

The article describes the vortex layer apparatuses not yet used in the coatings technology and shows their advantages over bead mills.

The article is devoted to the study of model filled paint compositions based on polyurethane. The features of the microstructure of polymer coatings with different compositions of the dispersed phase are considered. The influence of various pigments on the electrochemical parameters of coatings for the external painting of the aircraft is shown. The results of accelerated corrosion tests of newly developed protective and decorative paints and varnishes are presented. The data characterizing the surface topography of coatings based on them are given.

Considered modern and perspective anti-corrosion pigments, which are an alternative to toxic chromates. Described methods for their obtaining, mechanisms of anticorrosion action, advantages, disadvantages in metals protection.

The article is devoted to the results of the all-Russian scientific and practical conference «Innovative materials and technologies in design» held on April 10–11, 2023, in St. Petersburg.
