1 Not all insulation is the same! from fire testing to real fires.

2 Introduction fire performance is not a simple science > two most important aspects of fire certification for insulation products are: > Reaction to Fire > Fire Resistance > often mistakenly and sometimes deliberately confused and conflated

3 Kingspan and Fire safety Share knowledge with key stakeholders Cooperation with well established partners like FM Global and BRE Drive fore best performance on products As placed Large scale testing for ultimate system performance Product development for and with the market Room corner test bij FM Global Test houtskelet wand met PIR volgens EN 1365

4 Not all insulation is the same Kingspan own blend high performance insulation Ring-structure creates a thermal stable product which can withstand high temperatures Very slow burn-through and heat transfer to non-fire side Forms strong carbonaceous char that helps to protect core insulation No burning droplets; no melting behaviour Very little smoke given off once surface has charred Self-extinguishes when flame is taken away Carbonaceous PIR Charing IPN QuadCore
