Expandable graphite flakes can be used in multiple layers of the composite, or simply as the reactive substance in the fire protective layer.
The versatility of this material is attested by the various polymeric coating systems in which it has been incorporated.
Nearly all existing premier coatings solutions have used this graphite-based intumescent coating including epoxies, latex, silicones, siloxanes, bitumen mixes, polyurethanes, and many hybrid structures as well.
