HEATSHIELD MATERIAL

摘要

A heatshield material comprises a material of low density and high surface area per unit weight. This material is able to fix by chemical means free water molecules. It is also adapted to permit superheating of steam produced from this free water in response to thermal attack. The material is intimately mixed with at least one non-combustible binder and at least one source of the free water molecules or a substance supplying the free water molecules.
