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?

        This was developed at FIU and guess that it works
on the same principle. You would spray it on the Cockpit side
of the firewall or inside of the cockpit sides for protection.

Asked Al Hodges, a friend of mine to also respond.
