TY - JOUR PY - 1997// TI - Thermal characteristics comparison of two fire resistant materials JO - Journal of fire sciences A1 - Koo, J. H. SP - 203 EP - 221 VL - 15 IS - 3 N2 - Two intumescent fire resistant materials were characterized. The thermophysical properties--mass loss, rate of mass loss, specific heat, thermal conductivity, thermochemical expansion, permeability, and porosity--of Firex RX-2390 and No Fire Formula A were characterized as a function of temperature. Correlation models were derived from the data. Properties of the two materials were compared and related to their thermal performance.
