        Panther Skin, developed by persons at Florida International
University. Sprayed on a surface it will bubble up when heated and
form a foam insulating surface good to ~2000 Deg Virg

Virg, is this is any different than the normal fire retardant (intumescent)
paint which also boils up to form an air bubble
insulation?
