The Risk of SMC Plastic Ceiling Materials and the Realities of the Construction Material Market [Ulsan Samhwan Art Nouveau Fire Accident, Metal Ceiling Material, Plastic Ceiling Material] in Ulsan
Hello!👋

A few days ago, there was a really unfortunate fire accident.
A fire broke out in the 'Samhwan Arnubo' building in Dal-dong, Nam-gu, Ulsan.
The Arnubo building was a large building with two basement floors, 33 floors above ground, 127 apartment houses and shops.
Fortunately, no casualties were reported, but 93 people were injured and more than 10 billion won in property damage.
We should recognize the worst accident caused by the use of illegally produced and distributed building materials and recognize and improve the seriousness of the situation so that low-quality building materials are no longer used.
This fire accident is very suspicious to us.
Given the speed and scale of the fire spreading, it was too vulnerable to fire to be said to have used the right quality building materials.
First of all, I'll explain the reason for the spread of the fire and tell you why we think so.
1. A strong wind
The fire spread through the wind and spread quickly.
Also, the fire helicopter was unable to take off because of strong winds.
This fire accident also spread through the outer wall.
The aluminum panel contains three types of combustible materials: internal combustible insulation, coating layers coated with flammable paint, and finally adhesives.
Naturally, the structure is vulnerable to fire, so it acts as a "firewood" in case of fire.
3. Evacuation layer (15th floor) of Piloti structure with SMC
Samhwan Arnubo was using the 15th and 28th floors as a refuge.
Under the building law, Samhwan Arnubo did not have to install a shelter, but was aware of the danger of fire and was using two floors as a shelter.
But something happened that no one expected.
It was a sudden burst of flames in a place used for evacuation.
Why in the hell did the flames go up so fast from the 15th floor, the refugee camp?
The answer is 'SMC Plastic Ceiling' installed in 'Piloti Structure'.
It's often used in villas' parking lots, and it's also used in buildings like Arnubo, the background of the accident.
The piloti structure is open to the outside, so oxygen circulation is very smooth.
What would happen if we used SMC plastic ceiling materials that are vulnerable to fire in this environment?

Can you see the horrible scene in the picture?
SMC Plastic Ceiling has excellent insulation and moisture resistance, so it is usually used in toilets, saunas, and swimming pools.
But this SMC plastic ceiling material, we're telling you again, there are a lot of safety issues.
A fire in Uijeongbu City, where five people were killed and 128 injured in 2015.
A fire at the Jecheon Sports Center in 2017 that killed 29 people.
There is a common point of this shocking fire accident.
The ceiling used at the time of the accident was SMC plastic ceiling.
And there is one clear fact about the fire-weakness of SMC plastic ceiling.
There is a paper published by Hwang In-ho, a fire inspector at Osan Police Station in Gyeonggi-do last year.
"OUTER FLASHOVER" Phenomenon of Fire Inspector Hwang In-ho,
who won the National Fire Survey Academic Conference
To give you a brief explanation of your thesis,
In the event of a fire, heat and gas build up in the space between the ceiling and the finish. And air enters through holes created by burning SMC plastic ceiling material that burns easily. So the air and the accumulated gas in the ceiling meet and cause a rapid explosion. This is called 'Outer Flashover'.
'oxygen circulation caused by an open-out filotti structure'
SMC Plastic Ceiling and Aluminum Panel Exterior, vulnerable to fire and burning in an instant.
'And to make matters worse, strong winds from the typhoon.'
The 15th floor of Samwhan Arnubo had all the conditions for the spontaneous combustion.
The flames spread through the ceiling to the outer walls of the other side.
The safest floor of evacuees has spread the fire even more.
However, no matter how vulnerable the SMC plastic ceiling is to fire, its durability is not this weak.
This is because SMC plastic ceiling material also has fire resistance of grade 3 in flame retardant.
Nevertheless, we cannot help but doubt the scene of the accident, which was so easily burned.
In fact, there are many unconscionable cases where low quality defective products are traded at low prices.
Due to these cases, contractors and building owners who are considering construction must obtain KS certification and check if the quality is guaranteed.
KS is a certification system that certifies quality in the country.
It is a kind of quality assurance document that comprehensively inspects and certifies factory inspection, material control, process control, quality control, manufacturing facility management, inspection equipment, etc.
In order to prevent safety accidents caused by fire, we would like you to know that 'the first priority should be placed on quality' when purchasing and constructing materials.
We have received KS certification so that customers can trust our company to purchase ceiling materials and entrust construction to prevent unfortunate accidents in the event of a fire due to the poor quality of ceiling materials.
In order to prevent this terrible fire accident as much as possible, Zenfix has always tried to produce and study non-burnt ceiling materials and deliver them to you at a more reasonable price.
