Embodiment 1A and 1B

[0082] The formulations used in Examples 1A and 1B are listed in Table 1 below. In Example 1A, a 2.5 mm thick coating was applied to a steel I-beam 0.8 m long, Hp / A = 180, and weighing 40 kg using the formulations in Table 1. In Example 1B, the formulations in Table 1 were applied to a steel I-beam 0.8 m long, Hp / A = 300, and weighing 40 kg, to a thickness of 3.1 mm. In Examples 1A and 1B, the resulting coatings were smooth, semi-gloss films.

[0083] Two coated steel I-beams were placed in a full scale furnace and each sample of Examples 1A and 1B was tested for ignition point and film thickness. The results are listed in Table 3 below. After the fire point test, the surface of the coatings in Examples 1A and 1B became uneven and charred and blackened. Cutting along the cross-section of the expanded film revealed foam cells of various sizes, most of which were 5-20 mm in size, giving a spongy appearance.

Embodiment 3a and comparative example 3b

[0093] Example 3A and Comparative Example 3B examined the difference in performance using 5-phenyltetrazole. The formulations used in these examples are listed in Table 4.

[0094] The powders listed in Table 4 were coated on a steel I-beam with a length of 0.3 m, a weight of 20 kg, and Hp / A=300 to prepare a coated substrate to be tested. In Example 3A and Comparative Example 3B, the resulting coating was a smooth semi-gloss film with a film thickness of 1.7 mm.

[0095] In Example 3A and Comparative Example 3B, four coated I-beam substrates were subjected to fire point testing in a single lab size furnace. After the fire point test, the surface of the coatings of Examples 3A and 3B became uneven and charred and blackened. Cutting along the cross-section of the expanded membrane revealed foam cells of various sizes, most of which were 5-20 mm in size. The cross-sectional height was measured with a ruler, and the expansion coefficient (expanded fired film thickness / initial c...

Abstract

The present invention provides intumescent powder compositions and methods of using them, the compositions comprising one or more blowing agents that initiate blowing at a first initiation temperature, preferably tetrazoles, one or more phosphorous containing catalysts that act as a blowing agent at a second initiation temperature, one or more hydroxyl functional or epoxy functional thermosetting resin carbonifics, one or more heterocycle containing thermoplastic resin or (co)polymer carbonifics, and one or more low temperature curing agents, such as an imidazole, wherein the compositions initiate blowing at a first and a at second initiation temperature which temperatures differ from each other by 10 DEG C or more and by up to 150 DEG C. The compositions do not foam during cure and provide cured intumescent coatings on substrates, such as structural steel, exhibiting controlled foaming when exposed to fire. In another embodiment, the present invention provides plastic, capstock or molding compounds comprising one or more moldable or shapeable (co)polymers or resins, preferably polypropylene, and intumescent compositions.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to flame retardant powder compositions that can be used to form coatings, films and plastics that expand when heated or exposed to flame. More specifically, the present invention relates to flame retardant powder compositions having a combination of foaming agents such that articles made from the composition, when expanded by heat or exposure to flame, gradually form a consistent ) foam. Background technique [0002] Steel framed building structures have become the end use of many steel products around the world. When a fire breaks out in these buildings, the unprotected steel structure quickly rises to a temperature that "softens" the steel, causing the steel to lose its rigidity and damage the integrity of the building. Over time, the deflection of the building causes the panels and cladding to loosen, posing a serious threat to people attempting to escape from the building and to firefighters trying to contain the fir...
