IGNITION SOURCE • Prevent ignition • Possibly self-extinguish
FLAME SPREAD (REACTION TO FIRE) • Slow down flame spread • Reduce heat release • Delay flash-over
FIRE PENETRATION (RESISTANCE TO FIRE) • Prevent the collapse of structures, e. g. steel columns protected by intumescent coatings • Prevent fire moving to adjacent room or building compartment
