In this study, Wollastonite (W) filler of two different particle sizes were used to determine the fire performance of intumescent fire retardant coating. The basic ingredients of the coating were ammonium poly-phosphate (APP) as acid source, expandable graphite (EG) as carbon source, melamine (MEL) as blowing agent in epoxy binder, boric acid as additive and hardener as curing agent. A series of coating formulations were developed by using different weight percentages of both sized Wollastonite fillers. The coated steel substrate samples were tested for fire performance using Bunsen burner and char expansion was measured using furnace fire test. A Comparison of the coatings thermal performance was determined. Wollastonite containing filler particle size 10 μm showed better thermal performance than formulations containing filler's particle size 44 μm. © 2014 Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences. date: 2014 publisher: EDP Sciences official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84904977816&doi=10.1051%2fmatecconf%2f20141303012&partnerID=40&md5=902d0df9ba0690a6b6309c747454bb84 id_number: 10.1051/matecconf/20141303012 full_text_status: none publication: MATEC Web of Conferences volume: 13 place_of_pub: Kuala Lumpur refereed: TRUE issn: 2261236X citation: Zia-Ul-Mustafa, M. and Ahmad, F. and Megat-Yusoff, P.S.M. and Aziz, H.
