Despite the major advances in ensuring fire safety of buildings and structures, fire risks still represent the serious issue not only on the territory of the Russian Federation but on the global basis. Presently, while erecting buildings and structures focused attention is given to lowering material consumption and reducing construction time. This is achieved by means of application of lightweight building envelopes with efficient insulators. For the most part, foam poly styrene plates are used as an insulator. Expanded or foam poly styrene has low coefficient of heat conductivity, high acoustic isolation, long-term durability, moisture resistance, and is characterized by ease of installation. However, application of foam poly styrene has constrains due to its high contribution to the propagation of fire.
In the present paper, the authors proposed new flame-retardant composition on the base of organo-siloxanes, which inhibits combustion initiating of foam poly styrene and constrains fire propagation when applied on the surface of foam poly styrene plates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
