Thermally insulative compositions for a fireproof coating

Abstract

A new and innovative fireproof coating is provided. The fireproof coating exhibits high heat insulation combined with a low flame spread and low smoke density. The fireproof coating can be applied to any suitable structure for which fireproofing is beneficial. An advantage of the fireproof coating is low weight and high flexibility compared to conventional fireproofing technologies while still providing equivalent or better fireproofing properties. The provided fireproof coating has a low thermal conductivity and high emissivity, each of which provide the coating with desirable fireproofing properties. The fireproof coating also demonstrates its advantageous fireproofing properties over a wide range of temperatures and adds minimal thickness to the structures on which it is applied while still providing equivalent or better fireproofing properties as other, thicker fireproof materials.
