Abstract
A plural-layer protective coating placeable adjacent the outside surface of a liquid fuel container. The coating, differentially in two, different embodiments, includes (a) a self-sealing, anti-fuel-leakage, elastomeric-response layer having an inside face disposable directly in contact with such a container's outside surface, and having an outside face spaced from its inside face, (b) an intumescence-response layer, absent in one principal embodiment, and present in the other, having an inside face, when present, disposed adjacent the outside face in the elastomeric-response layer, formed of an intumescence putty material, and having an outside face, and (c) a packetized, burst-reactive, flame-suppression layer including plural, side-by-side-adjacent, independently burst-reactive packets, each containing, burst-releasably, a powdered flame-suppression agent, these packets collectively defining an inner side for the flame-suppression layer which is disposed, depending upon coating embodiment, either adjacent the outside face in the elastomeric-response layer, or adjacent the intumescence response layer's outside face.
