title: The effect of organoclays on the fire-proof efficiency of intumescent coatings
abstract: We explored thermal transformations of the intumescent system (ammonium polyphosphate, pentaerythrite, melamine, copolymer of styrene acrylate) in the temperature range of 200–600 °C in the presence of organomodified montmorillonites and titanium nano-oxide. Coefficients of swelling, masses of coke residues are determined and morphology of the formed coke layer is investigated. These data were used for the development of formulations for effective fire-retardant coatings of the intumescent type,
