A flame retardant binder for EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) Pearls is a special type of adhesive that not only binds the EPS beads together but also provides flame retardant properties. This binder helps to reduce the flammability of the EPS material, making it safer for use in various applications, such as insulation in buildings.
These binders typically contain flame retardant additives that are mixed with the EPS beads during the manufacturing process. The additives can be based on different chemicals, such as brominated compounds or other eco-friendly alternatives. The result is a more fire-resistant material that still retains the insulating properties of EPS
Caloric value
The caloric value, or heat of combustion, of materials can vary based on their composition and structure. Here’s a general comparison:
- VAE (Vinyl Acetate Ethylene): The caloric value of VAE is approximately 25 MJ/kg (megajoules per kilogram).
- Acrylics: The caloric value of Acrylics is around 32 MJ/kg.
- The caloric value of Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR) is approximately 35 MJ/kg
These values indicate the amount of energy released when the material is completely combusted. Keep in mind that specific values can vary depending on the exact formulation and processing of the materials.
