Water‐resistant, in tumescing fire‐retardant paints have been formulated from different types of chemically modified oil‐based vehicles, carbonific polyurethanes, spumific melamine phosphates, spumific organohalophosphorus compounds, additives, pigments, driers and solvent. The synthesis of their three major components舒the vehicle itself, the spumific melamine phosphates and the carbonific polyurethanes舒is described. As a result of evaluation in the standard fire‐test cabinet and in the Underwriters' Laboratories' 25‐ft tunnel furnace, the formulation whose vehicle has a higher content of tung oil and whose carbonific components are less thermoplastic appear to be most promising. However, these research results have again manifested the importance of the contribution of each component in achieving effective fire retardance.
