Fireproof Expanding Graphite
Check out my sponsor Brilliant and use this link for 20% off a premium subscription: https://brilliant.org/nighthawk - In this video we make intercalated graphite, useful for making graphite foil, graphene, intumescent fire barriers, superconductors, etc.. In addition to this I compare multiple methods of intumescent fire protection to find out if expandable graphite preforms as well as carbon foam.
As a result of my tests in this video: For indoor intumescent fireproofing I recommend using commercially made paints containing ammonium or melamine polyphosphate and pentaerythritol. I have not compared brand names to identify the very best fireproof paint, but several that I believe will provide very good protection are as follows:
Contego Reactive Fire Barrier
Firetect WT-102
Fireguard E84
Flameoff Fire Barrier Paint
