Ensuring the Durability of Buildings through the Use of Insulation Systems Based on Polyethylene Foam

In modern polymer composite technology, the use of waste products from other industries or processed waste is reasonable, but this requires more research. The purpose of the research presented in the article was to develop a methodology for selecting the composition of modified polyethylene foam and to assess the flammability of the materials obtained. In these studies, the content of recycled polyethylene, as a result of solving optimization problems, was taken to be equal to 23% of the mass of the polymer. CO2 was used as the foaming gas. The structure of the polymer was modified with flame retardant. This made it possible to obtain materials belonging to the group of flammable, self-extinguishing materials, which significantly expanded the field of application of products based on polyethylene foam. Taking into account the possibilities of seamless insulation casings, the following systems of application of products based on polyethylene foam are considered: floors under mechanical load on the ground; permafrost soil insulation; insulation of external building elements in harsh climatic conditions; floating floors.
