Abstract

This article presents theresults of information search and discusses the main tendencies in the field of creation of fireproof paint and varnish materials and coverings on their basis for painting interior elements of aviation engineering. The research defines the main requirements for interior coatings, and for choice of components for obtaining fire-resistant interior paint and varnish materials and coverings. The most promising research and development for fire-resistant paint coatings are identified.
