Tannic acid's role as both char former and blowing agent in epoxy‐based intumescent fire retardants
Abstract A novel intumescent fire‐retardant coating formulation has been developed by taking advantage of the inherent stability of large cyclic polyphenols (e.g., tannic acid) to remove the need for a dedicated blowing agent, specifically melamine. Cone calorimetry data indicate a lower fire growth...
