Abstract: A thermally expandable multilayer packing for building material, having protruding parts and a body portion in the cross-sectional shape based a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The thermally expandable multilayer packing includes both a thermally expandable resin composition layer and a thermoplastic resin composition layer, wherein the thermally expandable resin composition forming the thermally expandable resin composition layer contains 100 parts by weight of a resin component containing a chlorinated polyvinyl chloride resin and/or an EPDM, 3 to 300 parts by weight of a thermally expandable graphite, 3 to 200 parts by weight of an inorganic filler and 20 to 200 parts by weight of a plasticizer. The thermally expandable resin composition layer and the thermoplastic resin composition layer are formed by simultaneous co-extrusion using the thermally expandable resin composition and the thermoplastic resin composition.

Abstract: This invention provides a fire-resistant reinforcement structure which facilitates work for improving fire resistance of architectural members such as pipes, a door, and a sash, a fire-resistant reinforcement architectural member, and a fire-resistant reinforcement method for an architectural member. A fire-resistant reinforcement structure is formed by pouring a thermally expandable fire-resistant material into a gap in and/or the interior of an architectural member, and characterized in that the viscosity of the thermally expandable heat-resistant material at 25° C. before the thermally expandable fire-resistant material is poured into the gap in and/or the interior of the architectural member is in the range of 1,000-100,000 mPa·s, and the thermally expandable fire-resistant material loses fluidity at 25° C. after being poured into the gap in and/or the interior of the architectural member.

Abstract: A fireproof resin sash that is usable in fire zones or the like is provided, regarding which fireproof performance is easily imparted to a general non-fireproof resin sash without modification of the structure thereof. In a fireproof resin sash 1, vertical frame members 11 and 12 and lateral frame members 13 and 14 that are synthetic resin members having a plurality of hollows along the longitudinal directions thereof are combined with each other to constitute an opening body 10, and vertical rail members 21 and 22 and lateral rail members 23 and 24 are combined with each other to constitute screens 20 that support windowpanes 25. Fireproof sheets 15 and 15A made up of thermally expandable fireproof material are inserted into hollows selected from the hollows of the members so that fireproof surfaces can be formed in the direction along the glass surfaces.
