MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611025771 A) filed by Swami Vivekanand Subharti University, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, on March 5, for 'a system and method for passive fire protection in buildings using multi-layer insulation and intumescent materials.'
Inventor(s) include Aanchal Sharma; Daud Chauhan; Ibran Khan; and Soni Dubey.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A multi-layer insulation and intumescent material-integrated fire-resistant building system is disclosed for enhancing passive fire protection and structural stability during fire exposure. The system comprises a structural framework including reinforced cement concrete (RCC) or structural steel load-bearing members coated with an intumescent fire-retardant material configured to expand under elevated temperatures to form an insulating char layer. The system further includes prefabricated multi-layer insulated wall panels having an outer fire-resistant layer, an intermediate fire-retardant insulation core, and an internal intumescent insulating layer, along with fire-resistant roof and slab assemblies incorporating thermal insulation layers to restrict vertical heat transmission. Integrated fire-stopping mechanisms positioned at service penetrations, slab edges, and structural interfaces are configured to prevent migration of smoke, flames, and hot gases between building compartments."
