Abstract: A prefabricated fireproof bulkhead section for a ship. The fireproof bulkhead section includes an inner core layer made of an incombustible fiber material and having a first side for receiving a first composite and a second side for receiving a second composite for forming a fireproof bulkhead section. The first composite includes a first metal layer formed of a metal sheet, a first ceramic layer formed of ceramic fibers, a first foil layer formed of a metal foil sheet and a first outer layer formed of an intumescent, fire-retardant coating on a fiberglass sheet; and the second composite includes a second metal layer formed of a metal sheet, a second ceramic layer formed of ceramic fibers, a second foil layer formed of a metal foil sheet and a second outer layer formed of an intumescent, fire-retardant coating on a fiberglass sheet.

Abstract: An insulation blanket including an inner core air cell made of metal and having a first side for receiving a first composite and a second side for receiving a second composite. The first composite having a first inner layer formed of a metal foil sheet, a first middle layer formed of ceramic based sheets, and a first outer layer formed of an intumescent, fire-retardant coating on a fiber glass sheet; and the second composite having a second inner layer formed of a metal foil sheet, a second middle layer formed of ceramic based sheets, and a second outer layer formed of an intumescent, fire-retardant coating on a fiber glass sheet.

Abstract: A fire and heat protection wrapping system is described for wrapping structural steel such as steel columns, beams and open web joists used in steel construction of all types of edifices. The protection wrapping system includes a concentric composite laminate structure having a plurality of concentric layers for the protection of structural steel components which are exposed to high temperatures of up to five hours (5 hrs) in duration. The plurality of concentric layers includes an outer first layer, an inner second layer, an inner third layer and an inner core fourth layer for wrapping the structural steel component. The outer first layer is a fiberglass textile having an intumescent coating resistant to heat, water and impact. The inner second layer is a metal foil layer for reflecting heat and eliminates the convection transfer of heat. The inner core third layer is a low conductivity refractory blanket for reducing the transmission of heat.

Abstract: A fire, heat and backdraft protection system is described for protecting firefighters in all types of fires. The protection system includes a composite laminate structure having a plurality of layers for the protection of firefighters who are exposed to high temperatures of 2200.degree. F. for 30 minutes in duration. The plurality of layers includes an outer first layer, an inner second layer and an inner third layer. The outer first layer is a fiberglass textile having an intumescent coating resistant to heat, water and impact. The inner second layer is a metal foil layer for reflecting heat and eliminates the convection transfer of heat. The inner third layer is a low conductivity refractory blanket for reducing the transmission of heat. The inner fourth layer is a metal foil layer for reflecting heat and eliminates the convection transfer of heat.

Abstract: A fire and heat protection wrapping system for wrapping conduits, cable trays, transmission lines, cables and other electrical transmission devices associated with the transmission of electricity and electrical signals, and gas and oil pipelines. The protection wrapping system includes a concentric composite laminate structure having a plurality of concentric layers for the protection of the transmission devices which are exposed to high temperatures in excess of three (3) hours in duration. The plurality of concentric layers incudes an outer first layer, an inner second layer, an inner third layer and an inner core fourth layer for wrapping the electrical transmission device. The outer first layer is a fiberglass textile having an intumescent coating for resistance to fire, heat, water, impact and the outer first layer surrounds the inner second layer.

Abstract: A fire-retardant coating material including a fluid intumescent base material having a foaming agent, a blowing agent, a charring agent, a binding agent, a solvent, and a pigment. The coating material further includes a flame spread reduction agent; refractor fibers dispersed in the fluid intumescent base material; an oxidation reduction agent; a thermal transmission reduction agent; a stabilizer and volatile organic reduction component; a mechanical enhancer component for physical impact resistance and adhesion; a water-resistance agent; and an elasticity agent to increase resistance to cracking and shrinking, and to improve ease of spraying.
