Hinkley, P.M., 1958. THE EFFECT OF COATINGS ON THE IGNITION OF FIBRE INSULATING BOARD BY HIGH TEMPERATURE RADIATION. Fire Research Notes 364


ABSTRACT

A number of paints of high reflectivity have been exposed to radiation from a high temperature source. A phosphate resin paint was found to be the most effective in preventing ignition but distemper, which is cheap and readily available, was nearly as effective.
