intumescent vs. foaming
I think the part in brackets is basically just a definition to clarify the word "intumescent".
"Intumescent: Materials that expand in volume when exposed to heat or flames exceeding a specified temperature"

In other words, "intumeszierend" specifically refers to foaming as a result of heat or flames, whereas "aufschäumend" refers to foaming in general.
