Performance of Fire Protective Coatings Subjected to DC-ARM Wartime Scenario Fires Aboard Ex-USS Shadwell

Abstract

The subject test coatings were applied in a range of thickness in excess of Navy paint application. Radiant flux from the wood crib fire was insufficient to trigger any intumescent response in the C. B. Environmental products FB-1 and FB-520. Direct flame impingement from the heptane pool fire did not provide an insult sufficient to activate any large-scale, intumescent response from the C. B. Environmental product FB- 2. The C. B. Environmental coatings FB-1, FB-2, and FB-520 may provide some thermal resistance to conductive heat transfer at an application thickness of 60 to 80 mils.
