Relationship between heat exposure equipment and intumescent coating performance

Description

Intumescent coatings are certified based on tests in industrial furnaces, which are
costly and use a lot of energy. This leads researchers to use lab‐scale methods. However, there is no method to correlate industrial and lab‐scale test results. This work aims at understanding how various testing methods differ from each other and to find a way to predict the coatings behavior in industrial furnaces. Here, coatings are exposed in an industrial furnace, a new prototype named CoaST‐Fire and a lab‐scale modified electric oven.
