HONEYBEE HYPOTHESIS
Hypothesis # 1
Improve the FIRE RESISTANCE of most PIR Foams by replacing
TCPP, TEP or TOP additives without sacrificing performance.
Problem Hypothesis #1
Across the Rigid foam industry, a problem is the use of halogenated and non-halogenated flame-retardants to enhance FR ability (TCPP, TEP, TOP, etc). Flame-retardants typically degrade other properties of PIR foam and are considered hazardous to health and leads to toxicity. A FR PIR board typically has inferior insulating properties when compared to a non-FR PIR board.
Hypothesis # 2
Improve the R-Value at low temperature of most PIR Foams,
as a result of adding HoneyBee
Problem Hypothesis #2
Across the Rigid foam industry, one of the most important variables to compete is the R-Value, the higher the better especially at low temperatures. Other manufacturers try to solve this problem by adding other materials like glass wool.
