Water-based intumescent fireproofing formulations are provided that exhibit excellent fireproofing properties while simultaneously significantly reducing and/or eliminating the potential for VOC release and exhibiting excellent hangability properties. The intumescent fireproofing formulation includes a coalescent that significantly reduces and/or eliminates the potential for VOC release and fiber constituents, e.g., fibers of greater than 0.2 mm in length. Exemplary coalescents have a boiling point of at least 180� C. and include bis(2-ethylhexanoate)triethyleneglycol, 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediolmono(2-methylproponate) and 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanedioldi(2-methylpropanoate). Intumescent fireproofing formulations are also provided that include clay to further improve performance. |
