non-co-adhering intumescent powder Explanation: Possibly. It is noted that it is desirable that the formulations of the invention form in intumescence a solid char structure wherein the glassy bubbles caused by the intumescence adhere to each other so that the resulting solid char forms a unitary structure. If the bubbles do not co-adhere, what was desired to be a ‘solid structure’ crumbles and falls apart. This could occur with high SiO2 formula such as 3.62/0.26:0.22:0.52, in the absence of corrective measures. To ensure fusing (i.e. co-adhering) of the bubbles, a low melting temperature frit such as borax is included with the formulant, the effect of the frit being to ensure fusing of the glass bubbles during intumescence. The frit does not otherwise affect the character of the formulant. https://www.google.ch/patents/US6645278 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 days (2016-10-17 14:26:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Don't you think this is an incorrect literal translation? I do think 'intumescent' is the right word. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 days (2016-10-17 14:46:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I can't know about your client. They may be right or they may not be right. They are no translators, this is what I know. Remember, however, we departed from 'knelband'--> intumescent strip --> See google: 'intumescent strip" Also: An intumescent is a substance that swells as a result of heat exposure, thus increasing in volume and decreasing in density. Intumescents are typically used in passive fire protection and require listing, approval and compliance in their installed configurations in order to comply with the national building codes and laws https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intumescent Apparently 'intumescent' is a current concept. Of course, the fact that you never heard about something does not mean anything whatsoever. I guess there is much and much more terminology I don't know about then I do know about. As a translator I see this on an almost daily basis. Even if am highly educated. 'intumescent' was new to me as well. Which simply proves what I just said. Good luck, Barend |
