Ammonium poly-phosphate (APP) was used as acid source, expandable graphite (EG) as carbon source, melamine as blowing agent, boric acid as additive and Hardener H-2310 polyamide amine in bisphenol A epoxy resin BE-188(BPA) was used as curing agent. Bunsen burner fire test was used for thermal performance according to UL-94 for 1 h. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) was used to observe char microstructure. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to analyse char composition. The results showed that addition of clay filler in IFRC enhanced the fire protection performance of intumescent coating. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results showed the presence of boron phosphate, silicon phosphate oxide, aluminium borate in the char that improved the thermal performance of intumescent fire retardant coating (IFRC). Resultantly, the presence of these developed compounds enhanced the Integrity of structural steel upto 500°C. © 2015 AIP Publishing LLC. date: 2015 publisher: American Institute of Physics Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84973452384&doi=10.1063%2f1.4919184&partnerID=40&md5=6e89716ba4e8d7421e8bf41a53975c86 id_number: 10.1063/1.4919184 full_text_status: none publication: AIP Conference Proceedings volume: 1669 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9780735413160 issn: 0094243X citation: Zia-ul-Mustafa, M. and Ahmad, F. and Megat-Yusoff, P.S.M. and Aziz, H.
