With the high-rise, clustering, and large-scale buildings, especially the development of steel structure buildings, the flame retardant requirements for building materials are getting higher and higher. Fire prevention is a major event involving the national economy and people's livelihood, which can avoid huge losses of life and property and is beneficial to the development of the national economy. Let's take a look with the flame retardant testing instrument manufacturers:
The meaning of flame retardant materials:
The wide application of various types of new building materials and decoration materials with novel designs and colors has brought beautiful enjoyment and more convenience to people's lives. However, in these new building materials, decoration materials and various high-end furniture/components, quite a lot of products contain a lot of flammable or flammable polymer materials, and may also release a lot of smoke and toxic gases when burned. It is a potential fire hazard. These building materials, decoration materials and various high-end furniture/components with unclear combustion performance are widely used in buildings, leaving serious hidden dangers for building fire safety.
Definition of flame retardant material:
Flame retardant material is a kind of protective material, which is a material that can prevent burning and is not easy to burn. The products of flame retardant materials can be mainly divided into 7 categories: flame retardant fabrics, flame retardant chemical fibers, flame retardant plastics, flame retardant rubber, fire retardant coatings, flame retardant wood materials and flame retardant paper, and inorganic non-combustible filling materials.
The reason why a fire in a department store in a city in my country caused 80 deaths was mainly due to the improper use of combustible decoration materials. The impact of interior decoration materials on fire has the following main characteristics:
①Affect the speed of fire from ignition to deflagration;
② further spread the flame through the surface of the material;
③Increased the fire load and contributed to the thermal intensity of the fire;
④Dense smoke and toxic gas are generated, causing casualties.
In view of the fact that the interior decoration materials of buildings are very important fire initiators, in order to avoid the rapid development of the fire in the indoor space and affect the evacuation of personnel and fire fighting, the fire performance of the decoration materials must be considered.
Compared with flammable materials, fireproof materials have the properties of retarding the spread of fire and heat insulation. When a fire occurs, it creates important conditions for the rescue of personnel, property and buildings, and minimizes losses. In some important occasions with special requirements, it plays a pivotal role.
The future development trend of flame retardant materials:
Expert comments: "Flame-retardant materials" should be understood as "hard to burn materials". In the early stage of a fire, they may self-extinguish away from the fire, or increase the temperature of the ignition point, or slow down the speed of flame propagation, etc. to reduce the probability of fire. It really has the positive effect of "preventing trouble before it burns". If all aspects of our society conscientiously implement the national fire safety regulations and the mandatory regulations of the fire department, then many tragic fire cases will not happen, or at least the extent of losses and the number of lives saved can be reduced. Let us cherish our life and property, maintain a harmonious society and a warm family, and insist on using "flame retardant materials".
Market and use status of flame retardant materials:
1. The standard is strong, but the standard is not implemented well. For example, in the market of fire-retardant coatings, "fish eyes are mixed with pearls", and "copycat version" fire-resistant coatings are prevalent; many so-called "Class A thermal insulation materials" in the external wall thermal insulation market have been stolen and replaced, but in fact they do not meet the national fire protection standards.
2. People's awareness of fire prevention is weak. In high-rise buildings, the use of fire doors is useless, "the door that should be opened is not opened, and the door that should be closed is not closed", which leads to the failure of the fire door to function when a fire occurs, thus causing the fire to spread; some household fire doors have been modified. For the anti-theft door, resulting in the loss of fire protection function of the fire door.
With the development of fireproof material technology, the improvement of people's living standards and the progress of society, people's awareness of fire prevention will be improved, the relevant national regulations and standards will be more and more perfect, and the supervision of relevant national departments will be strengthened. Fireproof materials will have a broad development field.
The information about fire prevention has been introduced here. I hope this article will be helpful to you.
