Thermal Characteristics Comparison of Two Fire Resistant Materials
Source abstract
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.
