Dugdale Plc Intumescent PVC Materials incorporate specially treated graphite flakes that add intumescent properties. At a temperature of around 250°C the layers in each graphite flake separate and this increases the volume of the PVC material by approximately 300 percent. In a fire situation, this reaction would typically be triggered by hot smoke.
