Is XPS insulation flammable?
Is XPS insulation flammable? Many people are concerned about the safety of using XPS insulation for fire prevention. XPS extruded board insulation material is a very common building insulation material. It has good thermal insulation performance and mechanical strength, so it is widely used in construction. With the frequent occurrence of building fire incidents, people are paying more and more attention to the performance of XPS extruded board insulation materials in fires. This article will briefly analyze the impact of XPS extruded board insulation materials on firefighting.
Performance of XPS insulation materials in fires.
XPS extruded board insulation materials have good moisture resistance and anti-aging properties and are not easy to burn. This makes XPS extruded board difficult to burn in a fire and does not produce dripping, thereby reducing the possibility of fire spread. XPS extruded board insulation materials have a small thermal conductivity, the material structure is stable, and no harmful gases will be released in a fire, which has a positive effect on protecting the lives of people and reducing fire losses.
Although XPS extruded board insulation materials have good fire resistance, there are also some problems.
XPS extruded board will expand, melt, or even burn at high temperatures, releasing harmful gases, which pose a threat to the spread of fire and the escape of personnel. The combustion temperature of the XPS extruded board is high, and the harmful gases produced after combustion are harmful to the environment and human health. In the field of construction, especially in high-rise buildings and crowded places, the fire protection requirements for XPS extruded board insulation materials should be improved, and effective fire prevention measures should be taken to ensure the safety of personnel.
Improvement of fire protection technology for XPS insulation
To solve the problem of XPS extruded board insulation materials in fire, our factory actively carries out technical research development and innovation. In response to the problem that XPS extruded board is easy to burn at high temperatures, our scientific research institutions have increased the research and development of material flame retardants and continuously improved the fire resistance of XPS extruded board so that the harmful gases produced by burning in the fire are reduced and the burning time is shortened. In response to the problem of the high combustion temperature of the XPS extruded board, we use polymer modification technology in the material production process to reduce the combustion temperature of the material and improve its flame-retardant properties. We also compound XPS extruded board with other flame-retardant materials to improve fire resistance. These technological innovations have a positive impact on the performance of XPS extruded board insulation materials in fires.
During the production process, we will strengthen the quality inspection and supervision of the XPS insulation board, standardize the production and use of materials, and ensure the safe application of XPS extruded boards in buildings. By strengthening the specifications of building fire protection design and construction and improving the overall fire protection performance of buildings, we can also reduce the risk of XPS extruded boards in fires and ensure the safety of people’s lives.
