Abstract: An intumescent mesh has a flexible grid with a plurality of strands that form a series of openings in the flexible grid, and an intumescent coating applied to the flexible grid. The intumescent coating is made of an expandable graphite and a polymer-based carrier as ingredients and having an activation temperature above which the intumescent coating swells. The grid is sized such that the intumescent coating permits airflow through the flexible grid until the intumescent coating is exposed to temperatures at or above the activation temperature, whereupon the intumescent coating swells to seal the openings and prevent air flow through the flexible grid.

Abstract: An intumescent mesh comprises a mesh structure woven from strands that define openings in the mesh structure, the strands being made from non-metal materials. An intumescent material is applied to the strands, the intumescent material being carried such that, in an inactivated state the intumescent material permits airflow through the openings in the mesh structure, and in an activated state, the intumescent material swells and restricts airflow through the openings in the mesh structure. The intumescent mesh is able to withstand a temperature of at least 980° C. for at least 10 minutes prior to failure.

Abstract: A protective cover for a pole that is typically oriented vertically with a top surface at a top end of the pole and an outer surface that extends down from an outer perimeter of the top surface is provided. The protective cover has a flexible substrate with a central section that engages the top surface of the pole and an outer section that engages the outer surface of the pole. A preservative agent is carried on the central section of the flexible substrate such that the preservative agent engages the top surface of the pole when the cover is installed.

Abstract: A dissolvable glass projectile for a firearm is molded from dissolvable glass for the ammunitions and firearms industry. The dissolvable glass projectile may be molded into different sizes or geometry based on firearm and user preference. A mixture of chemicals components are heated and melted and then poured into a mold and is allowed to cool to a solid that can be handled.

Abstract: A fibre structure formed from dissolvable glass fibres is provided, the dissolvable glass fibres being formed from one or more boron compounds and one or more alkali compounds. The dissolvable glass can be formed into filaments, rovings and staple fibres of varying composition, length and diameter dependent on functionality and purpose. A mixture of chemicals components are heated, melted and then drawn or extruded into dissolvable filaments, rovings and staple fibres for use in a fibre-reinforced composite part or as a preservative in the internal and surface treatment of solid wood and engineered composite panels. A water-soluble surface coating may be applied to adjust dissolution rate and facilitate binding into an air-laid nonwoven mat or incorporation into other matrices.
