Abstract

Two intumescent fire resistant materials were characterized. The thermophysical properties--mass loss, rate of mass loss, specific heat, thermal conductivity, thermochemical expansion, permeability, and porosity--of Firex RX-2390 and No Fire Formula A were characterized as a function of temperature. Correlation models were derived from the data. Properties of the two materials were compared and related to their thermal performance.
