Influence of rheological additives on char formation and fire resistance of intumescent coatings

Intumescence: Tradition versus novelty. A comprehensive review

“…Another method can be used to follow the expansion 'in situ' during cone calorimetry experiment (the heat source is an irradiative heat flux) by using an infrared camera (combined with image analysis) to determine the expansion as a function of time ( Figure 4b). Those protocols have been applied to numerous intumescent coatings, and the same trends observed for each system evidencing the general behavior of intumescent material [33][34][35].…”

Influences of flame-retardant fillers on fire protection and mechanical properties of intumescent coatings

“…These coatings have widespread use as PFP to the structural steel in modern architectural designs, whilst at the same time maintaining an aesthetically pleasing appearance. Recently, many researchers have extensively studied the performance of intumescent coatings in terms of fire protection, water resistance, thermal stability and mechanical properties [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. When exposed to irradiation, intumescent coatings decompose into voluminous, multi-cellular char layers with thermal insulation properties sufficient to protect the underlying material from reaching softening or pyrolysis temperature.…”

Influence of hybrid functionalized graphite nanoplatelets-tripolyphosphate on improvement in fire protection of intumescent fire resistive coating for steel structures

“…The evaluation of the mechanical resistance of charred material under stress helps to explain the loss of the protective character of the intumescent shield and its efficiency in the turbulent regime of combustion [46].…”
