The main objective of the current study was the investigation of the effect of adding the wollastonite nanoparticles (casio3) to the water based acrylic coating onto the fire resistance capability and adhesion strength of coating. The nano wollastonites with the concentrations of 0.5, 1.50, and 2.5 wt% were dispersed into the coating. Ultrasonic device was used to stabilize the nanoparticles into the substrates. The coating process was carried out with and without application of the nanoparticles on the surfaces of spruce and sycamore samples and their properties comprising the fire resistance and the adhesion strength were investigated. The obtained results showed that adding of nano wollastonite to the acrylic coating with the waight percent of 2.5% (w/w) had the significance effect onto the resistance of the samples to fire. In particluar, these effects was observed in cas of the retard time of ignition of the spruce and sycamore samples with the improvement values of 258 and 184 % compared with the control samples, respectively. Furthermore, the investigation of adhesion properties of coatings to the sample surface indicated that the applied nano wollastonites improved these properties of coatings. In case of the adhesion properties, however, the highest value of this properties was observed in the highest content of wollastonite nanoparticles. It should be noted that the performance of nanocomposite coating containing of the 1.5 wt% of nano onto investigated properties was also acceptable.
