On contact with flame or excessive heat, the coating decomposes and puffs up (intumesces) forming a thick, dense, spongy foam layer that checks flame spread and retards heat penetration.

RECOMMENDED USES: For application to all interior combustible surfaces where it is either necessary or desirous to reduce the surface burning characteristics of combustible materials,also, on metal surfaces to retard the penetration of heat. It is not recommended for an hourly rating on structural steel beams and columns.
