How does the new type of fire-resistant (and thermal-insulating) composite panel completely enclose flammable insulation materials within non-combustible materials and surface panels? How can exterior wall materials simultaneously provide both thermal insulation and fire resistance? In some office buildings, shopping malls, supermarkets, airports, hotels, and other public spaces, even after the power is cut off, air conditioning or heating can still maintain their operation for an extended period. What makes this possible? The answer lies in the fact that these buildings’ exterior walls are equipped with thermal-insulating materials. However, many fires have been closely linked to exterior wall insulation materials. Flammable and combustible external thermal-insulation materials have become a new source of fire hazards, leading to a series of successive fires involving such materials. So how can we...
