QIIP PANELS WALL FIXING DETAILS
The following can be concluded from the above series of experiments:
Even with 12000C flame burning the Panel for 2 hours, there is no damage to the core of the panel. There is no flashover effect on QIIP WALLS. The PUF core is not affected. However, after 2 hours of constant flaming, the bonding between the GI sheet and PUF core was lost on the side where flaming was done. Direct flame on PUF has shown that it forms a char layer on the surface which is exposed to the flame. This layer prevents the fire from spreading inwards. As the PUF is of high density, there are no air gaps inside the foam. This means that there is very less chimney effect. The foam, even after burning, does not form droplets, which means that, there is no scope of secondary fires.
Although polyurethane is a combustible material, the protective coverings on both sides not only protect the panel from failing but also do not transmit heat to the other side. The aluminum outer frame imparts even more structural stability to the entire panel. The flash point of polyurethane foam is 3100C which means the foam does not ignite spontaneously. From the above observations, it can be said that QIIP WALLS fall under the fire-resistant building material category. QIIP WALLS are green building product and bio degradable.
