EPS패널의 열방출율과 가스유해성에 대한 연구는 꾸준히 진행되어왔다. 그러나 그 동안의 시험 결과는 KSF ISO 5660-1(콘칼로리미터) 시험규정에 의한 소형시편을 이용한 것으로 난연제의 과다투입 또는 심재의 변형이 쉬워 결과를 신뢰하기 힘들고 실제 생산되는 크기의 샌드위치패널의 난연성능을 판단하기 힘들다. 따라서, 보다 정확한 실물화재시험의 필요성이 요구되고 있다. 난연 EPS샌드위치패널과 일반EPS샌드위치패널의 실물화재 실험결과 난연EPS샌드위치패널은 기타재료의 샌드위치패널과 열방출율, 연기발생율, 부분별 온도분포, 플래시오버등과 같은 난연성능이 EPS샌드위치패널과 우레탄폼패널보다 우수하며, 글라스울과 비슷한 성능을 나태내는 것을 확인 할 수 있다. 그래서 시공성, 경제성 등의 EPS샌드위치패널의 장점을 그대로 유지하며 난연제의 코팅법을 통해 우수한 난연성능을 확보하였다.

주로 탄화수소화합물로 구성된 EPS(Expended poly styrene)는 뛰어난 단열성능, 경제성, 건식공법의 시공편리성으로 단열재로 많이 사용되지만 화재에 취약한 단점이 있다. 최근 EPS패널의 다양한 난연화를 통해 난연EPS패널제품이 개발되고 있고 시장에서의 사용이 증가되고 있다. 그러나 가짜 난연EPS제품의 사용이 사회적 문제가 되고 있는 것도 현실이다. 본 연구에서는 난연EPS와 일반EPS가 성분이 다른점을 이용하여, 현장에서 시공되고 있는 시료의 진위여부 판단을 위해 X-선형광분석기(XRF)를 사용한 원소분석을 시도하였다. 분석결과 매우 간단한 방법으로 시료의 진위여부를 확인할 수 있었으며, 따라서 현장에서 사용될 수 있는 분석법으로 적용가능성에 대하여 고찰하였다.

Based on the Fire Service Act of mandatory provision, new buildings are strictly forced to use fire protection materials. Flame resistant EPS is one of those materials. Unlike conventional EPS that can be fused to make EPS ingot and be recycled for various purposes, flame resistant EPS waste cannot be recycled due to the presence of protective coating that is applied to increase the fire protection properties of EPS. A suitable alternative that can process large amount of flame resistant EPS wastes needs to be developed, and one of the possible alternative is to use them as construction materials. In this research, experiments were designed to observe whether the flame resistant EPS wastes can be utilized as partial replacements of fine aggregates in cement mortar. The replacement ratio of waste EPS was varied, and its effect on compressive strength and absorption capacity was investigated. According to the experimental results, both compressive strength and absorption capacity met the Korean Standard specification for cement bricks and blocks, indicating that flame resistant EPS wastes can be used for construction purposes.

The physical properties of lightweight foamed concrete mixed with EPS waste and flame resistant EPS waste were investigated. For this purpose, the main variables considered were a cement content of 300 and $400kgf/m^3$ and an EPS replacement ratio of 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40% by the volume ratio of the foam. The water-cement ratio and the dilution concentration were fixed to 0.5 and 10% respectively. The test results showed that the apparent density meets degrees 0.5 and 0.6 of KS F4039, and they showed little difference between the two mixes of Type A and Type B, regardless of the unit cement content. The bending strength obtained through the compressive strength also met the degree of KS F 4039. The thermal conductivity was 1~3% higher for the mixes of EPS than the case of flame resistant EPS, but both mixes met the 0.4 degree of KS F4039. The absorption ratio showed the values above 20% with a 1~3% difference for the two mixes, which mean further studies will be needed to reduce the absorption ratio.

EPS 샌드위치 패널은 화재 시 치명적인 단점을 가지고 있다. 하지만 여전히 EPS 샌드위치 패널이 국내에 많이 사용되는 이유는 가격이나 시공성, 생산성에서 EPS를 대체할만한 물질이 아직 개발되지 않는 실정이다. 글라스 울 패널과 우레탄 폼 패널이 시장에 조금씩 유통되고 있지만 여전히 EPS 패널이 시장에서 70%이상을 차지하고 있다. 그래서 EPS를 코팅, 함침, 주입 등의 여러 가지 방법도 개발되고 있으나 그 중 가장 간단하고 가격이 낮고, 샌드위치패널에 적용이 가능한 코팅법에 의한 난연제의 배합설계와 비드와 난연제의 난연 등급에 따른 최적의 배합비를 제안하고자 한다.

EPS sandwich panel contains flame retardants that slow down ignition during fires,reduce the amount of heat generated, and block the spread of combustion. However, if a sandwich panel does not satisfy standards for fire-retardant performance, it may increase damage to property and human life. It is difficult to test the fire-retardant performance of a finishing material with the naked eye, so it is necessary to develop convenient and fast evaluation methods that are convenient and fast. In this study, a fire safety evaluation method for EPS sandwich panel was analyzed using X-ray to detect specific components related to the fire-retardant performance X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) indicated that suitable panel products contained more aluminum in comparison to unsuitable products. Gibbsite was identified as the main crystalline material of flame retardant EPS through X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and was included in both suitable products and unsuitable products, but there was a difference in crystalline structure. This study was verifies the possibility of evaluating fire-retardant performance using ultimate analysis and crystal analysis through these X-ray methods.

1999년 씨랜드 청소년 수련원 화재로 19명이 사망하여 샌드위치 패널의 위험성이 대두되었으며, 2008년도 이천 냉동창고 화재 그리고 최근 2009년 11월 19일에도 샌드위치 패널로 건축된 물류창고에서 화재가 발생하였다. 이러한 샌드위치 패널로 시공된 물류창고 등의 화재는 확대가 빠르므로 난연재 소재의 샌드위치 패널의 필요성에 대한 관심이 높아져 가고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 폴리스티렌 폼을 심재로 한 샌드위치 패널의 장점에 난연성을 부과하여 화재 안전성을 도출하는 하고자 한다. 샌드위치 패널의 심재로 주로 사용되어지는 EPS 비드에 저가의 물유리를 코팅하여 난연성을 도출하고자 한다. 2차 발포 성형시에 물유리가 고온의 스팀에 씻겨 내려가지 않고 남아서 난연성을 나타내도록 하는 것이 목표이다.

Despite strengthening requirements for fire retardancy and applied buildings of insulation panels, the number of fires and influence of damage have increased. In this study, the thermal effects were evaluated as the separation distances, and three types of EPS panel, glass wool panel, and gypsum board panel were then selected. Temperature sensors on the panels were installed vertically from the ground. The fire source on the lamination layer of lumber was ignited by changes in the separation distances (0 cm, 25 cm, 50 cm) from the panels. The test results suggested that the maximum temperature was 349 ℃ in the EPS panel. The inside/outside shape changes were limited by the height of the low and middle positions until the critical point of a 25 cm separation distance. Furthermore, the combustion marks appeared after 500 s on average, and then the EPS panel with a high fire strength showed a broad "U type" pattern, glass wool panel, and gypsum board panel showed medium or narrow "V type" pattern. Therefore, the acquired data can provide valuable information for evaluating the fire risks and verifying fire investigation from buildings composed of these insulation panels.

Fires in buildings built using sandwich panels are difficult to extinguish, and the damage caused by the fire spreading through the inner core material is extensive. Sandwich panels consist of a nonflammable material on both sides of an insulation material. The types of insulation material include organic and inorganic insulation materials, but the former are used in more than 80% of the case. Organic insulation is economically advantageous compared to inorganic insulation, but it is vulnerable to fire. Therefore, the damage caused by sandwich panel fires is higher than that for general fires. In the case of the noxious gas analyzer test, the panel is tested with three round holes having a diameter of 25 mm, in order to determine the risk of the core material, but the cone calorimeter test is carried out using a sandwich panel. In this study, the cone calorimeter test was conducted to examine the fire risk of the composite material when heated on a nonflammable surface, exposed to the core material through a hole, and heated directly the core material. The type of organic insulation employed was flame retardant EPS (Expanded Polystyrene), and the test specimens were tested in three types of sandwich panel, a perforated sandwich panel and single core material. The purpose of this study is to propose a method of measuring the fire risk of the core materials of composite materials using the cone calorimeter test.
