Abstract
Abstract A composition which is particularly adapted for coating structural surfaces to provide them with a thermal carrier to protect them from the detrimental effects of fire comprises an aqueous mixture of (a) lithium mica, (b) wollastonite, (c) aluminum trihydrate, (d) nepheline syenite, and (e) soda bicarbonate. The composition may be diluted with water to facilitate application. The composition may also contain raw vermiculite, sodium aluminum sulfate, borax, calcium sulfate, sodium silicate and other additives to improve the fireproofing, insulating and/or structural strength properties of the material.
