- Abstract
- This report supplements our report No. TG3624-306; FR2438 submitted under date of August 19, 1946. At the request of the Office of Chief of Engineers, War Department, further tests were conducted of a proprietary paint, "Albi-R", submitted by the Albi Chemical Corporation, New York City, New York, and applied by spraying to acoustical tiles. The paint constituents are soluble or dispersible in cold water. The coating has the property of intumescence, that is, swelling on exposure to fire. The panels were spray-painted in the Sound Section of the Bureau of Standards and said to have coverage of 150 sq ft per gallon of paint.
