【Replacing Fire-retardant Panels!】Application of Low-density Gray Silica Base Panels in the Project of Guoneng Yulin Production Command Center (Yulin Guoneng Building)

     In past building renovations, flame-retardant boards were a popular choice for partition wall and ceiling materials. They use plywood as the base material and add flame retardants through special processes. In practical use, they have many limitations. In terms of fire resistance, although they can delay the spread of fire to a certain extent, most flame-retardant boards can only meet the B1-level flame retardant standard. When facing high temperatures and intense fires, their fire protection effect will be greatly reduced and cannot provide sufficient safety guarantees. For example, in some large commercial complexes, once a fire breaks out, the fire spreads rapidly, and B1-level flame-retardant boards can hardly block it effectively, which easily leads to the rapid spread of the fire and causes serious loss of life and property. 

      In terms of environmental protection, flame-retardant boards also have hidden dangers: some flame-retardant boards may release harmful substances such as formaldehyde and benzene from the adhesives and flame retardants used in the production process, which have an adverse impact on indoor air quality. Especially in relatively closed indoor spaces, these harmful substances continue to volatilize over time, which will endanger people's health, leading to respiratory diseases, allergic reactions and even more serious diseases. Moreover, after flame-retardant boards are discarded, due to their material properties, they are difficult to be naturally degraded or recycled, which easily causes environmental pollution.

Advantages of the application of low-density gray silicon-based laminates:

Fire prevention advantages:

The fire resistance performance of the low-density gray silicon base board meets the A1-class non-combustible standard, which is currently the highest level in the fire resistance rating of building materials. In the event of a fire, it can effectively block heat transfer and slow down the spread of the fire. Imagine that once a fire breaks out in the command center, the low-density gray silicon base board can act like a solid firewall, buying precious time for personnel evacuation and fire fighting and rescue. Compared with most flame-retardant boards that can only meet the B1-class flame-retardant standard, its fire protection effect has a qualitative improvement. For example, in some fire simulation experiments, B1-class flame-retardant boards will quickly carbonize and burn under the baking of high-temperature flames, while the A1-class non-combustible low-density gray silicon base board can remain stable for a long time under the same conditions, without burning or producing smoke, providing more reliable protection for life and property safety.

Advantages in environmental protection performance:

Some flame-retardant boards release harmful substances such as formaldehyde and benzene, which are harmful to health, and are difficult to degrade and recycle after being discarded; the low-density gray silicon base board is made of inorganic raw materials, non-toxic and harmless, green and environmentally friendly, and also realizes resource recycling.

Advantages in moisture resistance and mildew resistance: 

The climate in Yulin area is relatively dry, but in some special cases, such as the short rainy season in summer or areas with high indoor humidity, traditional flame-retardant boards may get damp and moldy, which not only affects the appearance, but also may breed bacteria and endanger health. However, the low-density gray silicon base board has excellent moisture resistance and mildew resistance, and can still maintain a good state in these environments, always looking as good as new.

Other characteristics: 

In addition to the above advantages, the low-density gray silicon base board has the characteristics of strong nail-holding power and easy construction. The excellent nail-holding power makes it more firm and reliable when installing various decorative materials or equipment, without worrying about nails loosening or falling off.

      Judging from the current development trends in the construction industry, green, environmentally friendly, and high-performance building materials are the general trend. As people's awareness of environmental protection continues to increase, their requirements for the quality of indoor building environments are also getting higher and higher. As a new type of building material that is green, environmentally friendly, and has excellent performance, low-density ash-silicon base boards exactly conform to this development trend. In future building decoration projects, whether it is commercial buildings, office spaces, or residential decoration, it has broad application prospects.

      We hope that more construction projects will pay attention to and adopt low-density ash-silicon base boards. It is believed that in the near future, it will occupy an important position in the building decoration industry and create safer, more comfortable, and more environmentally friendly building spaces for us.
