Time 10 Seconds

Due to its tough char characteristics, DOWSIL™ 3-6077 Ablative exhibits noticeable topographic change after 10 second exposure.

Time 20 Seconds

After 20 seconds, DOWSIL™ 3-6077 shows significant topographic changes, but still offers protection for both direct and in-direct heat exposure.
