Fire Propagation Performance of Intumescent Fire Protective Coatings Using Eggshells as a Novel Biofiller

This paper aims to synthesize and characterize an effective intumescent fire protective coating that incorporates eggshell powder as a novel biofiller. The performances of thermal stability, char formation, fire propagation, water resistance, and adhesion strength of coatings have been evaluated. A...
