Research on the fire endurance of the silica sand membrane

Abstract

In this study, the fire endurance, density, low-temperature deflection, penetration and ring-ball method tests of the membrane produced throughout the mixing of Bitumen, IPP (isotactic polypropylene), LDPE (Low-density polyethylene) calcite and silica sand at varying proportions were performed and the test results were compared with the membrane used today. In our study, TS 120 EN 1427, TS 118 EN 1426, TS EN 13501-1, KG-TL-029 testing methods were used. The density of the silica material we have obtained was measured at 1.3782 g/cm3, the endurance of the material was found out to be better, softening temperature was measured at 155 C, brittleness temperature at -7 C and the fire class was found out to be as E. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
