As a result of the conducted studies, the method of combining components and foaming parameters for obtaining foam epoxides has been selected. The relationship between the structure of the foam epoxide and the amount of the added blowing agent—ammonium carbonate—has been established. This study explores the development of fire-safe foamed epoxy composites by incorporating technogenic waste from ceramic brick production. The optimized composites demonstrated improved compressive strength, enhanced fire resistance (the LOI—35–44%—and successful UL-94 V-0 testing) through the use of flame retardants (Tris(2-methylphenyl) phosphate and Decabromodiphenyl oxide) and low thermal conductivity (0.030–0.042 W/m K), highlighting their potential as sustainable thermal insulation materials.
