Study on the Combustion Performance of the Building Insulation Materials

Abstract:

The use of insulation materials in modern buildings has made a huge contribution to energy saving. However, due to the poor heat resistance of the insulation material, much heat and toxic fumes will release when burning, a serious threat to the safety of life and property, hence its shortcoming cant be ignored. The calorific value of building materials is the important parameters to characterize the potential fire hazard of building materials and its also the essential basic data to calculate its combustion releases heat and fire load; non-combustibility test can determine whether the material directly contributes to fire. The methods mentioned above were used in this paper to study the typical eight types building insulation materials in China, and further combustion performance analysis and proposal were made to give recommendations for improvement.
