The purpose of this study is to enhance heat insulation effect and to decrease fire hazard by attaching aluminum foil to
expanded polystyrene, which is mainly used for insulating materials, to have fire retardant. The result of the test
confirmed that the insulating materials, expanded polystyrene of 10 kg/m³ and 14 kg/m³ of density attached aluminum
foil on both sides, showed 12%, 14% of improved heat transfer coefficient respectively compared to existing expanded
polystyrene of the same density. Besides, they met all the standards for the testing of heat release and gas hazard. On
the other hand, the one made of general expanded polystyrene couldnot meet the standards of the heat release test
and the gas hazard test.
