Fire behaviour of polyurethane and polyisocyanurate thermal insulators obtained using alternative blowing agents.
Author(s) : MODESTI M., SIMIONI F., RIENZI S. A.
Summary
The fire performance of a series of polyurethane foams, obtained using various blowing agents, are here presented and examined. The insulating material properties concerning the fire can be modified using either reactive or additive flame retardant compounds mostly operating in the gas phase. The use of thermally stable structures, with high content of isocyanurate rings, seems to have, for the materials obtained with inflammable blowing agents, only a very small effect on fire reaction behaviour. The effects of the new blowing agents on the physical-mechanical properties of the thermal insulating foams are also examined to optimize formulations for producing valid materials.
