Abstract
Two intumescent fire resistant materials were characterized. The therm ophysical properties--mass loss, rate of mass loss, specific heat, the rmal conductivity, thermochemical expansion, permeability, and porosit y--of Firex RX-2390 and No Fire Formula A were characterized as a func tion of temperature. Correlation models were derived from the data. Pr operties of the two materials were compared and related to their therm al performance.
