Abstract: A reactive resin system for intumescent coating can be made. Intumescent coatings are used for fire protection of metallic building components. In the event of a fire, said coatings undergo reactive foaming that results in the formation on the metal girder of a fireproof insulating layer having low thermal conductivity and that retards any early, thermally induced failure of said building component. A methacrylate-based resin system is produced by a process in which a first monomer fraction is polymerized to a maximum degree of 95% by weight and diluted with a second monomer mixture. The glass transition temperature of the polymeric component of the composition that is formed is low compared with the art. Organic acids incorporated into the resin system have synergistic effect with the filler system. The resin systems produced are found to be efficient at thermally induced foaming, because of their fine-pored and closed-pored foam structure.
