“…As shown in Figure 1, when exposed to flame or radiation, broadly, a intumescent coating undergoes the following reaction steps [3,14,15], -At early heating stage, a large amount of thermal energy is absorbed by the coating, whose temperature increases quickly; -When the temperature of the coating reaches a critical temperature, the polymer matrix melts and degrades to form a viscous fluid. The inorganic acid source in the coating will undergo thermal decomposition normally at temperature of 100°C to 250°C [3].…”
