Behavior of intumescent epoxy resins in fireproofing applications

Intumescent epoxy resins are used commercially for fireproofing because of their ability to swell. The swelling action is initiated to shelter the materials beneath the resin from any potential heat source. In this study, the thermal degradation of the intumescent epoxy resins was researched, paying close attention to the morphology of the material and the overall swelling mechanism occurring. It was determined that the thermal degradation process inherently alters the ...
