Zusammenfassung:A plastic article such as a thermoplastic extruded door frame (2) or laminated composite floor for railroad cars having internal cavities (4) at least one of which (6) is filled with an intumescent material. When exposed to fire, such an article retards or inhibits the break-through of fire into an adjoining compartment or room for a sufficient time to allow occupants thereof to evacuate the adjoining compartment or to extinguish the fire. The intumescent material meets the requirements of ASTM E 152. The plastics employed herein may be either thermoplastic or thermoset.
