How to divide the fire resistant level of construction thermal insulation materials?

How to divide the fire resistant level of construction thermal insulation materials?

Answer:

1, Combustion performance of the national standard building materials are divided into the following levels: Class A: incombustible building material: Material that almost never burn. Class B1: nonflammable building material: Nonflammable materials have good effect of flame resistance. In case of fire it in the air or at high temperature it is difficult to catch fire and spread, and when the fire source is removed, the combustion can stop immediately. Class B2: combustible?building?material: Combustible materials have good effect of flame resistance. In case of open fire in the air or at high temperature, it will immediately burst into flames and spread the fire quickly, such as wooden column, timber roof truss, wooden stairs, etc. Class B3: flammable building material: No flame-retardant effect, highly flammable, high risk of fire. 2, According to fire?rating, external wall thermal insulation materials can be divided into 1) thermal insulation material with class A combustion performance. Rock wool, glass wool, foam glass, foamed ceramics, foam cement, hole-closed perlite,etc. 2) thermal insulation material with class B1 combustion performance: Extruded polystyrene board (XPS) after special treatment /polyurethane (PU) after special treatment , phenolic aldehyde, gelatine powder polyphenyl granule, etc. 3) thermal insulation material with class B2 combustion performance: Molding polystyrene board (EPS), extruded polystyrene board (XPS), polyurethane (PU), polyethylene (PE), etc.
Combining three versions of GB8624 (1997,2006,2011), external wall thermal insulation fire?rating can be basically divided into: A1, A2, B1, B2, B3 and other levels. There are many technical indexes for specific division. And it is mainly determined in accordance with the national standard GB8624 Building materials combustion levels.

There are many technical indexes for specific division, very professional and technical, so it is hard to say clear now.
