In recent years, rubber foam has been widely used in building and air conditioning fields due to its excellent sound insulation and heat insulation properties. However, as usage increases, discussions about its safety are also growing. Is rubber foam safe? How to use it correctly to avoid potential risks? This article will analyze for you.

Widespread application of rubber foam
Rubber foam is a kind of lightweight porous material, which is commonly used for building sound insulation, air conditioning pipe insulation and heat preservation.

Security controversy
Although widely used, the safety of rubber foam is still controversial, mainly focusing on the following aspects:

1. Flammability
Rubber foam is flammable and may release toxic gas in case of fire, threatening personal safety. Experts suggest choosing products that have undergone flame retardant treatment and keeping them away from sources of fire. The fire protection level of the products produced by Hebei Lanxuan Company is B1, and they will not produce open flames when exposed to fire, which increases safety.

2. Some rubber foam containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) may release VOCs. Long term exposure may cause headache, nausea and other discomfort, and even affect the respiratory system. It is recommended to choose low VOC products and maintain ventilation.

Expert advice: how to use rubber foam products safely
To ensure the safe use of rubber foam, experts put forward the following suggestions:

1. Select qualified products
When purchasing, identify products that meet national standards and ensure that they have been certified for flame retardancy and environmental protection.

2. Pay attention to ventilation
The newly installed rubber foam material shall be ventilated to reduce the accumulation of VOCs.

3. Keep away from sources of fire
Rubber foam shall be kept away from high temperature and open fire to avoid fire risk.

4. Regular inspections
After long-term use, the rubber foam may be aged or damaged and should be replaced in time.
