Intumescent Coatings and Their Applications in the Oil and Gas Industry: Formulations and Use of Numerical Models Open
The oil and gas industry is subject to significant fire hazards due to the flammability of hydrocarbons and the extreme conditions of operational facilities. Intumescent coatings (ICs) serve as a crucial passive fire protection strategy, f…

Thermal Insulation Performance of Epoxy-Based Intumescent Coatings: Influence of Temperature-Induced Porosity Evolution on Heat Transfer Resistance Open
This study investigated the thermal performance of reduced super intumescent (RSI) coating, focusing on the correlation between porosity evolution and thermal conductivity under elevated temperature conditions. Porosity development was qua…

Tannic acid's role as both char former and blowing agent in epoxy‐based intumescent fire retardants Open
A novel intumescent fire‐retardant coating formulation has been developed by taking advantage of the inherent stability of large cyclic polyphenols (e.g., tannic acid) to remove the need for a dedicated blowing agent, specifically melamine…

Tannic acid based <span>super‐intumescent</span> coatings for prolonged fire protection of cardboard and wood Open
Tannic acid (TA) has gained increased attention in recent years for its application in fire safety due to its natural abundance and char‐forming ability. In this paper, TA‐based composites were developed and evaluated against control compo…
