Issues that should be paid attention to in the application of EPS sandwich panels include:
- Fire resistance: EPS material itself is flammable, so when using EPS sandwich panels, its fire resistance should be considered and appropriate fire protection measures should be taken, such as using flame-retardant EPS or adding a fire-proof layer.
- Construction quality: During the construction process, construction specifications should be strictly followed to ensure that the fixing and connection points of the sandwich panels are firm to avoid structural problems caused by improper construction.
- Durability and aging: EPS sandwich panels may face aging problems during long-term use and require regular inspection and maintenance to ensure their durability.
- Thermal insulation performance: EPS sandwich panels have good thermal insulation properties, but the actual thermal insulation needs should be considered during design and the appropriate plate thickness and density should be selected.
- Waterproofing treatment: Special attention should be paid to waterproofing and sealing treatment during construction, especially in roofing and exterior wall applications, to prevent moisture penetration leading to material performance degradation.
- Wind pressure resistance: When using EPS sandwich panels in high-rise buildings or areas with high wind pressure, its wind pressure resistance should be evaluated and strengthened measures should be taken.
- Environmental recycling: EPS materials can be recycled, and their environmental performance should be considered during construction and use, as well as recycling issues after disposal.
- Structural reinforcement: For special applications, such as clean rooms with tall spaces, EPS sandwich panels may require additional structural reinforcement to meet usage requirements.
- Mechanical properties: Understand the mechanical properties of EPS sandwich panels, including bending capacity, wind load resistance and impact resistance, to ensure their safe use in construction.
- Product standards: Comply with relevant product standards and specifications, such as the "Steel Wire Frame Cement Polystyrene Sandwich Panel" standard (JC623-1996) to ensure product quality and application reliability.
Considering and solving these problems will help improve the application effect and service life of EPS sandwich panels.
