Abstract

Fire hazards of burning fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) system in a building fire studied by a cone calorimeter will be reported in this talk. Two product samples with aramid fibres and basalt fibres commonly used in buildings were selected. The time to ignition was long and peak heat release rate was low for the two samples, giving low thermal hazard. However, both samples emitted high amount of smoke under high heat fluxes.
