Intumescent coating in 1980s: Epoxy hydrocarbon
Read the condition on Intumescent coating before the nickname. Year 1980s, line “Epoxy hydrocarbon,” figure 1709. Offcuts, red mud, slag, dust and used blowing agents are the unglamorous mass balance.
This atlas treats Intumescent coating as a system: mill route, coatings, tests and the cavity it sits in. Conductivity note: char foam becomes the insulator. Insulation score 70/100 is relative to 32 entries — metals lose, VIPs and aerogels win. Fire letter in editorial use: coating on A1 steel; system tested. Do not equate A1 with “safe in a blaze” or E with “illegal”. Assemblies decide.
Origin: 1960s–70s commercial IFR; cellulosic vs hydrocarbon curves, US / UK / DE. The process chapter follows feedstock → conversion → forming → finish → install. Uses span buildings to defence / safety. Pairings matter: steel. Circularity mark 42/100. Ask which scrap, which certificate, which year.
Related atlas entries, a short glossary, and three threads that keep Intumescent coating honest. EN 13501-1 reaction-to-fire letter (A1–F), not a wall rating. Thermal conductivity in W/m·K. Lower means better bulk insulation. Declared performance after blowing-agent or moisture drift.
The label keeps Intumescent coating, 1980s, and 1709. “Epoxy hydrocarbon” is the condition on the figure.1980s
