GENERAL TERMS

The formwork polystyrene foam sintered block called formwork to stay eps SMARTBLOCKPLUS or icf is an environmentally friendly material derived from oil.

Through an industrial process, we derive small pearls transparent to achieve the formwork called formwork blocks remain eps SMARTBLOCKPLUS or icf, plus pentane during processing, a hydrocarbon gas that acts as expanded that at the end of the expansion process evaporates. The polystyrene beads expand up to 20-50 times their original volume when in contact with water vapour temperature above 90 ° C.

Pearls of polystyrene Pearls of expanded polystyrene

The next step is to weld together the pearls expanded, and after sintering, you print the formwork blocks called formwork thermal-acoustic “to stay”  eps SmartBlockPlus or icf obtaining a form so rigid, flexible, high-density, light weight, with a molecular structure closed cell, which holds its own house in the air and then the exclusive property of thermal insulation. Yes get these exceptional thermal insulation characteristics to form, but still with no air convective within expanded polystyrene beads.

The multiple benefits of formwork blocks thermo acoustic  to stay eps SmarBlockPlus or icf is also found with regard to fuel consumption, that is associated with the emission of carbon dioxide (1 MC methane releases into 1-MC dioxide carbon [1.98 kg]) and energy savings benefited from exceptional and unique properties of insulating material. This is a preventive measure to the negative effects of global warming. So largely respecting the directives of the Kyoto Protocol (zero carbon by 20012) concluded in the community by more than 55 nations. The Kyoto Protocol on Climate Change is an international agreement that sets specific targets for cuts in emissions of greenhouse gas, global warming, by the industrialized countries. And 'the only international agreement that establishes a limitation of emissions held responsible for the greenhouse effect twisting climate, global warming

Key points:

• For most industrialized countries have an obligation is to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases by at least 5% below their level in 1990, in the period ranging from 2008 to 2012. • The countries themselves have to provide protection projects woods, forests, agricultural land, which absorb carbon dioxide, (so called ''Carbon Sinks', that stores CO2). They can also earn 'Carbon Credit' helping developing countries to avoid polluting emissions, exporting clean technologies. Each country will also implement a national system for the estimation of gas emissions. It will be created a global system to compensate. • The signatory countries will meet if sanctions fail to achieve the objectives. Flexible more rules for developing countries. Why the Protocol becomes binding at the international level, must be ratified by at least fifty-five countries. This is happening now: the Russian parliament in November'04 has translated into law as decided (September 30'04) by the government of (Vladimir Putin). The protocol shall enter into force after 90 days in February 2005. In 2001 the United States withdrew from the table of the agreement, saying that it would damage the US economy and would unfairly favour the developing countries (the use discharged into the atmosphere 33% of the greenhouse gas emissions worldwide). The Australia is confirmed the refusal to join the China if they disinterest. Here's greenhouse gas emissions of which must be limited: - Carbon dioxide (carbon dioxide - CO2) - Methane (CH4) - Nitric oxide (N2O) - Hydro fluorocarbons (HFCs) - For fluorocarbons (PFC) - sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) Mos. The scientific world talking about all these gases in terms of "CO2 equivalent" with respect to their ability change climate, and this policy is adopted by the project impact of zero of Ceramiche Bernini S.L.R ITALY with system formwork block thermo acoustic to stay eps SmartBlockPlus or icf To achieve these targets, the Kyoto Protocol proposes a series of measures: Establish or strengthen national policies to reduce emissions (development of renewable energy sources, energy efficiency improvement, promotion and application of advanced building technologies for energy saving of eco sustainability forms of sustainable agriculture, etc.). Cooperate with other states acceding to the Protocol (exchange of information and experience, coordination of national policies for the purpose of efficiency through cooperation mechanisms such as emission rights, Joint Implementation and the Clean Development Mechanism).

Fire behaviour of EPS (polystyrene high density) REPORT NASA (USA)

The formwork denominated blocks thermal acoustic to stay eps SmartBlockPlus or ICF ignites only about 450 ° C. In building is used as thermal insulation and noise pollution for more than 50 years as a safe and self material for his composition and delayed the spread of flame created by the fire, characteristic obtained with appropriate additives not harmful, to cover the nature fuel This compound, in which the propagation ceases to be less of the cause of ignition. The EPS (expanded polystyrene high density) to about 200 ° C reaches the glass transition temperature in order to change their physical state to a semi-solid fluid. By transforming the polystyrene panels in a sort of membrane that lies on the panel EPS which borders and protects the masonry concrete structural both internally and externally by making it completely impermeable to gas or fumes. The volume occupied panels by polystyrene  (EPS) that give shape to formwork denominated blocks thermo acoustic eps SmartBlockPlus or ICF are made up of 98% air simply because the EPS (expanded polystyrene high density) under the action of the fire does not produce any Training gas as other elements building. The temperature developed during the fire only increases its pressure inside the watertight room occupied by the nucleus of concrete masonry where none and enough oxygen to fuel combustion, not coming to the state that experimentally is named as (outbreak). This is not entirely caused by the combustion of gases produced by EPS (expanded polystyrene high density) that form the formwork denominated blocks thermo acoustic to stay eps SmartBlockPlus or ICF insulating part of the structural walls. Right under the action of a fire occurs only increase the air pressure inside the volume previously occupied by the panel EPS which gradually loses the permeability to gases emitted by concrete action under fire. The EPS polystyrene panels of high-density foam that shape the formwork  denominated blocks thermal acoustic  to stay eps SmartBlockPlus ICF is not designed to withstand an increase in pressure beneath the action of the fire is extinguished by the masonry but by no means out as other materials Insulating. In conclusion, and good clarify that the formwork in EPS (expanded polystyrene high density) denominated block  thermal acoustic to stay SmartBlockPlus eps or ICF not sublime created by the fire but only you extinguish  gas without creating harmful to the health of humans as other insulation materials . Tests on guinea pigs, performed in laboratories NASA (USA), show less toxicity of the fumes EPS (polystyrene foam high density) than other materials (insulation) used traditional buildings in the world. The following table indicates the average survival time, in minutes, mice exposed to fumes during combustion fire.
