GrafGuard® Expandable Graphite-Centered Coatings: Protecting Steel with Enhanced Fire Retardancy

GrafGuard® expandable graphite flakes are an additive that greatly enhances intumescent fire protection when used in steel coatings, especially when combined with other fire-retardant additives. A new white paper from NeoGraf Solutions, “GrafGuard® Expandable Graphite-Centered Coatings: Protecting Steel with Enhanced Fire Retardancy,” discusses how the use of GrafGuard graphite flake centered multi-additive approach enables high-performance fire protection with thinner, lighter coatings, delivering critical improvements in safety and structural fire integrity over traditional single-additive systems. [...]Learn More

GrafGuard® Expandable Graphite Systems Help Meet ASTM E-84 Testing Requirements

ASTM E-84 is the standard test method for assessing the surface burning characteristics of building products. A new white paper from NeoGraf Solutions, “GrafGuard® Expandable Graphite Systems Help Meet ASTM E-84 Testing Requirements” discusses how GrafGuard® expandable graphite expands into a charred intumescent foam when exposed to the heat or flame, protecting the substrate and helping to pass the ASTM E-84 requirements. Minimizing both the smoke development and flame spread maximizes the potential flame spread index classification of the material. [...]Learn More

GrafGuard® Expandable Graphite: A Safer Choice for Fire Protection

Protecting people and property from fire is crucial, and fire retardants play a vital role in achieving this goal. While various fire retardants exist, melamine-based options raise concerns due to their EU classification as substances of very high concern (SVHC) in the REACH regulations. GrafGuard® expandable graphite from NeoGraf Solutions is a safe and effective replacement for melamine-based fire retardants […..]Learn More
