How to distinguish the fire?rating of rubber and plastic thermal insulation material?
According to GB 8624-2006 "building materials and combustion products classification", the division of the material's combustion performance grade is changed from five levels of level A (homogeneous material), A (composite sandwich material), B1, B2 and B3 to seven levels of A1 , A2, B, C, D, E and F or A1f1, A2f1, Bf1, Cf1, Df1, ef1 and Ff1 or A1L, A2L, BL, CL, DL, EL and FL . The level B1 rubber and plastic fireproof and thermal inuslation matertial is the best, but the most commonly used one is level B2. Hope it will help you.
It is divided into level A, B1, B2 and B3. According to the current "burning behavior of building materials classification method", Level A insulation material is a non-combustible material, which belongs to YT. However, from the point of view of the current market , level A insulation material are very few, only glass wool, rock wool board, foam glass and vitrified micro bead. However, compared with level A insulation material, the more welcomed by the market is the organic insulation material. This is characterized as thermal insulation material, which is divided into three levels: level B1 is flame retardant, level B2 is flammable and level B3 is flammable. The level B1 nonflammable thermal insulation material is determined according to the fire endurance of the material. And different parts of the material are divided differently! Such as the common EPS / XPS insulation boards through special treatment of adding flame retardant. . Level B2 combustible insulation material is commonly the EPS expanded polystyrene foam insulation board and XPS board, that is, the ordinary plate. This material has low ignition point, and releases large amounts of harmful gases in the combustion process . Level B3 flammable insulation material is commonly the thermal insulation material taking polystyrene foam as the main material. Since this material is highly flammable, it has been out of the external wall thermal insulation materials. As for the civil construction insulation materials, China's current popular building insulation materials in the market are mainly made of three organic foams: EPS (molded polystyrene board), XPS (extruded polystyrene board) and PU (polyurethane).
Fire?rating grading of external wall thermal insulation materials. 1, China's national standard GB8624-97 divides the combustion performance of building materials external insulation materials into the following grade. Level A: Incombustible materials: Almost no burning materials. Level B1: Incombustible materials: Flame-like material has good fire-retardant effect. In case of fire in the air or at high temperature, it is difficult to fire and doesn't spread quickly, and when the fire source is removed after combustion, it stops immediately. Level B2: Incombustible materials: Combustible materials have a certain flame resistance. In case of fire in the air or at high temperature, it will immediately burst into flames, and easily leads to the spread of fire, such as poles, wooden frame, wooden beams and wooden stairs,ect. Level B3 : Incombustible materials: No flame-retardant effect, hidhly flammable and high fire risk. 2, The external wall thermal insulation materials could be divided according to the fire?rating. 1) thermal insulation material that has the level A combustion performance: Spraying inorganic fiber, glass wool, foam glass, ceramic foam, rock wool, foam cement and perlite obturator, and so on. 2), The thermal insulation material that has level B1 combustion performance: Special processed extruded polystyrene board (XPS) / special processed polyurethane (PU), phenolic and polystyrene powder. 3), Thermal insulation materials that have level B2 combustion performance: Molded polystyrene board (EPS), extruded polystyrene board (XPS), polyurethane (PU) and polyethylene (PE), etc. The information given is for reference only. Hope it will help you.
