Davo,

the easiest way to tell what intumescent type you're using is to lick it (believe it or not) as they all taste different - don't ask how I discovered that.

"Interdens" is the best stuff to protect hardware as it exerts minimal pressure but expands muli-directionally a hell of a lot.

We use the pink substance for lining 60 minutes vision panels, although other systems have a white liner.

Generally (assuming it's not marked) a salty tasting white seal will be palusol based. A black one intercalated graphite. any others will be either mono ammonium phosphate or amonium polyphosphate.

Be careful of the less expensive products as they do not perform as well (surprise surprise).
Hi again RB.
Fraid I've never had intercalated graphite and chips before. Can you equate your strange tastes to something I may have eaten at one time, whilst sober?

Nearlythere,

I can't account for the behaviour which proceeded the discovery that these things taste different! A bit off the subject but do you know how to tell the difference between white and red oak? An equally bizarre answer awaits
