Thermolysis of heat-insulating intumescent coating

Question

Could some one give a coherent conceptual mechanism that could be a scientific and technological foundation for formulating fire-retardant intumescent coating that could unambiguously describe physicochemical nature of the process of thermolytic synthesis of the charred heat-insulating layers of intumescent coating on substrate/steel/polymer?

The mechanism that describes it will be words and diagrams. 
 The mechanism of producing the coating itself is probably not going to be thermolytic synthesis at all, for any current intumescent at least, the common ones are all 3 of the normal methods for making paint, namely oil based, water based and epoxy based. Which one you reach for depends on the substrate and the environment it will be used in . 
 I ask again what exactly do you want to know ? 
 i.e. 
 What are you trying to achieve? 
 What is the problem to which you seek a solution?
