Some Performance of Fire Resistant EPS
Polystyrene is a thermoplastic resin that is widely used because of its low cost and ease of processing.If there is a fire nearby, the EPS will burn. However, the EPS foam containing the flame retardant can be self-extinguishing within 3 s after combustion, and the flame retardant has no adverse effect on the performance of the EPS.
The research indicates that when the volumetric water absorption of EPS is less than 1%, the heat transfer coefficient can be increased by 5%; when the volume water absorption rate reaches 3%-5%, the heat transfer coefficient can be increased by 15%-25%. After prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light, the surface will yellow, but the physical properties of the material itself will not decrease too much. In most countries, it is recommended to take protective measures. For example, in the summer when the sunshine is strong, the construction time should be shortened as much as possible and should be placed in a dark warehouse when storing EPS.
