Abstract
New, flexible intumescent protection sheeting of unusually uniform thickness have been prepared from epoxy-polysulfide compositions containing microfibers and the ammonium salt of 1,4-nitroaniline-2-sulfonic acid, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,663,464, except that an ammonium salt particle size in the order of 5 to 8 microns and a fiber size of about 1/128th inch in length and 3 to 5 microns in diameter have been found critical to obtain the required density of 1.46 to 1.50 g/cc. The insulation sheeting is prepared by a continuous process involving vacuum mixing, calendering, and curing under very strict conditions which depend to some extent upon the thickness of the sheet produced. The resulting flexible sheet can be wrapped easily and tightly around small diameter missiles, thus affording them for the first time, protection from fire for at least 5 minutes. The material is also suited for the protection of other articles with convoluted or contoured surfaces, which require covering of highly uniform thickness.
