Abstract
Evaluation of the fire performance characteristics of a glass fiber-reinforced plastic sandwich panel was made on the basis of surface flammability, furnace exposure, smoke and potential heat tests, for both uncoated panels and those coated with an intumescent-type fire-retardant paint. The test methods used are described and the test results tabulated.
