In the intumescent fire retardant (IFR) coating char thickness and its strength play a vital role to protect the base steel structure from the fire attack. The IFR coating contains expandable graphite (EG), ammonium polyphosphate (APP), melamine, boric acid, bisphenol A epoxy resin BE-188 (BPA) was...
