Many existing insulation panels employing foamed plastics raise questions about fire risk. The French National Coal Board has therefore been trying a new approach, using phenolic resins with aggregate from expanded shale, which is plentiful and cheap, to make sandwich panels with good fire resistance. Results so far are promising, but some technical and production problems remain, as described here by a research officer at the Board's research laboratories at Verneuil-en-Halette.
