dc.description.abstractCalcium gluconate monohydrate is a member of a new class of base-catalysed intumescent compounds. It forms low-density closed-cell carbonaceous foam when exposed to heat. The volume expansion can be as high as two hundred times the original volume. At temperatures above 750°C this foam is transformed into a porous, yet cohesive, structure based on calcium oxide. The latter has only a slightly higher density and shows significant flame-resistance.en_ZA
