Abstract : This research study investigates the use of sunflower stalk ash as a prime additive to latex paint for the fire retardancy of marine plywood. Its main goal was to assess the effectiveness of sunflower stalk ash paint in improving the fire retardancy of marine plywood. The researchers employed a simplified flame spread test to determine the effectiveness of the paint, and statistical analysis alongside observation were used to ascertain the ideal concentration required for the sunflower stalk ash paint. The findings revealed that the use of sunflower stalk ash paint can significantly improve the fire retardancy of marine plywood, with the most effective outcome observed in marine plywood that was coated thrice with 16% concentration of sunflower stalk ash in latex paint. This study suggests that utilizing agricultural waste like sunflower stalk ash could serve as an effective and efficient method for enhancing the fire retardancy of marine plywood.

Keywords : Sunflower Stalk Ash, Latex Paint, Marine Plywood, Concentration, Fire Retardancy.
