The Influence of Polystyrene Thermal Insulation on Fire Load
Today, there are already a huge number of types of polystyrene thermal insulation available with different properties and different behaviour to fire. The literature does not provide clear data and still only one type of polystyrene insulation is listed in the standards. Yet simulation testing of polystyrene insulations and fire spread is not a widespread method. Studies prove that radiant heat causes heat development in polystyrene insulation which can modify the fire load of a building. In this paper, the behaviour of polystyrene thermal insulation, which is densely used in Hungary is examined, under the influence of radiant heat in simulation environment, and its influence on fire load is investigated.
