  • Fire and heat resistant materials
    Publication number: 20040203305
    Abstract: A rigid composite material comprising an organic fire retardant fibrous element, an intumescent material and a structure conferring amount of a cross-linkable resin is provided. When the composite material is exposed to conditions under which charring of the fire retardant fibrous element, intumescent and resin occurs, the charred surfaces of the fire retardant fibrous element intumescent and resin to bond together. Methods of preparing the composite material are also provided. The materials can be used in load bearing applications and are able to act as fire barriers under conditions of heat and flame.

  • Fire and heat resistant materials
    Patent number: 5645926
    Abstract: A flexible fire and heat resistant material comprising an intimate mixture of organic intumescent filler and organic fibres adapted to char intensely within the temperature range of 200.degree. C. to 500.degree. C. The added presence of inorganic fibre components enhances the structural integrity of this structure both during char formation up to 500.degree. C. and at higher temperatures up to 1200.degree. C. once char oxidation takes place.
