Alternatives to EPS Panels

Postby Admin » Tue Jan 27, 2015 11:00 am

PIR sandwich panels are an alternative to EPS panels and some insurers classify this product as non-combustible.
The previous report from Zurich Australia (2011) concludes with an interesting footnote regarding the performance of approved PIR sandwich panels:
A new extension to the existing EPS cold store had been constructed from PIR. The fire burnt up to the PIR wall but did not penetrate (and) the PIR section was left largely intact. This tends to confirm our recommendation of approved alternative panels, be they PIR or Phenolic resin matrix.
