In their own words

Currently Expanded Polystyrene Foam (EPS) is widely used in packaging and construction industries due to its unique properties, such as light weight, good thermal and acoustic insulation properties, and good chemical resistance. Based on relevant statistics, the market size of EPS is estimated to be 12.46 million tonnes in 2024 and is projected to reach 14.48 million tonnes by 2029, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 3.05% during the forecast period (2024–2029). However, the EPS foam is highly flammable, so there are immense challenges to making it flame-retardant EPS foam. Therefore, to ensure safety, researchers have been exploring methods of enhancing the flame retardation of EPS foam. Earlier, EPS flame retardation was achieved by coating with halogen flame-retardant materials. For example, BASF-manufactured EPS containing halogen flame-retardant material foam. However, during the combustion process, halogen flame-retardant materials produce toxic substances that are harmful for the environment and people’s health. This creates an urgent need for halogen-free flame-retardant materials To overcome this challenge, in this work we will prepare alternative ecofriendly flame-retardant materials for the surface coating of EPS foam to achieve fire safety standards. Keywords: EPS, ecofriendly flame-retardant materials, low cost.
