Evaluation of Epoxy-Based Fire Retardant Basalt Fibre Reinforced Intumescent Coating with Aluminum Trihydrate (ATH) for Fire Retardancy Protection of Structural Steel

Intumescent coating is a paint-like material that swells or expands when it is exposed to fire in order to protect and maintain the strength integrity of the underlying substrate by providing an insulating char layer. The aims of this research are to investigate the effect of fillers on the char mor...
