Show Devises Mineral Paint to Resist Thermite Bomb Heat LONDON. A mineral paint that can resist the intense heat of a thermite ther-mite bomb has been produced by the research chemists of Imperial Chemical Industries. Tests have shown that beams and floors treated with the substance have remained undamaged after a bomb has burned itself out. while a similar structure, untreated, would be consumed with fire in less than half an hour. The preparation is based on materials ma-terials similar to those used in the pyramids and is cheap to apply costing less than two cents a pound |
