Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an expanded foam solution for forming a thermosetting expanded foam having excellent flame retardancy produced using the same. According to the present disclosure, nanoclay is mixed with a polyol-based compound using ultrasonic waves, an isocyanate-based compound is added, and a trimerization catalyst or an isocyanurate compound is mixed with the polyol-based compound so that an isocyanurate structure is formed.
Claims5
