Intumescent paints are considered the lightest form of passive fire protection. An intumescent is a coating that, when exposed to heat, is rapidly transformed through sublimation, and expands many times its original thickness (up to 100 times), to form a stable, carbonaceous char.
The resultant char reduces the conduction of heat from the fire to the substrate, delaying the time it takes to reach structural failure.
I'm considering getting some for my kitchen remodel.
