Fireproof Panels for Container Houses

The commonly used fireproof panels for container houses mainly include modified gypsum boards, calcium silicate boards, fiber-reinforced cement boards, and metal composite sandwich panels. The core materials include rock wool, glass fiber, etc. These panels need to pass tests such as combustion performance and fire resistance limits and are suitable for walls, partitions, and other parts.

1. Common Brands and Types

The mainstream brands of fireproof panels specifically designed for container houses on the market include Yongshi, Jiuyitong, Youtu, Zhuolun, Zhongzhu Shengchang, etc. There is a wide variety of panel types, covering modified gypsum boards, calcium silicate boards, fiber-reinforced cement boards, and metal composite sandwich panels. Among them, metal composite sandwich panels (such as fireproof rock wool sandwich panels) are particularly widely used due to their combination of structural strength and fireproof performance.

2. Materials and Characteristics

The core materials of fireproof panels directly affect their performance:

• Rock wool: Made from basalt, it has the characteristics of light weight, low thermal conductivity, and non-combustibility, making it the core material for fireproof and thermal-insulated container houses.
• Glass fiber: Enhances the high-temperature resistance of the panels and delays the spread of fire.
• Silicates and quartz sand: Improve the structural stability of the panels and are suitable for high-temperature environments.
  For example, fireproof rock wool sandwich panels do not release toxic gases at high temperatures and can effectively block heat transfer, buying time for personnel evacuation.

3. Dimensions and Performance Testing

The dimensions of fireproof panels for container houses need to match modular design:

• Common specifications: 1200×2400mm or 1200×2900mm, with a thickness of 15mm; the industry-standard dimensions are 1220×2440mm, with thicknesses of 5mm, 8mm, and 10mm.
• Testing standards: They need to pass tests such as combustion performance (non-combustibility, smoke density, smoke toxicity), fire resistance limits (integrity and thermal insulation under load-bearing/non-load-bearing conditions), and physical changes under fire (deformation, cracks, temperature rise on the non-fire side). Testing equipment includes large-scale fire resistance test furnaces and cone calorimeters to ensure scientific and reliable data.

4. Application Scenarios

Fireproof panels are mainly used in walls, partitions, and ceilings of container houses. Through functions such as flame retardancy, thermal insulation, and smoke prevention, they build a multi-level fire protection system. For example, using calcium silicate boards for walls can delay the penetration of fire; using fiber-reinforced cement boards for ceilings can prevent structural collapse caused by high temperatures, comprehensively ensuring building safety and the lives and property of personnel.
