Specifications of the foam glass
Îáëàñòü Scope of insulation
A unique set of properties of foam glass allows you to use this material rather extensively. It is used mainly in construction and housing-municipal sectors as a universal thermal insulator as well as in agriculture, power, machinery, chemical and petrochemical industries, food, paper, pharmaceutical and other production. And everywhere foam glass increases the reliability of designs and saves money.
Foam glass is an ideal material for wide use in individual housing. The combination of its environmental cleanliness and excellent thermal insulation qualities with light weight, durability and ease of processing and assembly allows you to quickly and independently insulate any object of your private economy.
Foam glass is especially suitable for insulating rooms and spaces with special requirements for temperature and humidity regimes such as the cellars, saunas, baths, pools, fireplaces, chimneys, etc.
Unlike traditional insulating materials (aerated concrete, foamed plastics, mineral wool and glass wool) foam glass has excellent integration and structural properties. It is easily processed with cutting tools, drilled, nailed, glued. Since the outer surface of the material consists of a set of cut cells foam glass can be easily and firmly glued with mastics, well plastered and combined with aluminosilicate binders (cement, lime-cement mortar).
Properties and scope of foam glass
|
Characteristics |
The possibilities of use |
|
Low thermal conductivity |
thermal insulation in industrial and civil construction, reduces consumption of materials;
use for thermal insulation of pipelines and gas pipelines. |
|
Low density material with high strength |
reduces the load on the foundation and allows you to build even on soft ground;
add the upper floors of buildings;
indispensable for the insulation of ceilings, roofs, floors;
indispensable filler for lightweight panels;
possible to produce pontoons and other floating structures. |
|
Incombustibility |
possibility of thermal insulation in high-rise building construction;
creation of fire barring structures;
use for insulation of pipelines and other equipment operating at temperatures up to 500 °C. |
|
Excellent integration and structural properties |
unlike traditional insulating materials (aerated concrete, foamed plastics) foam glass is well combined with aluminosilicate binders (cement, lime-cement mortars);
easily processed with cutting tools, drilled, nailed, glued. |
|
Chemically inert, high corrosion resistance |
manufacture of reusable insulation;
operation time is practically unlimited;
dimensional stability (long-term dimensional stability);
applicable to the construction of reservoirs and pipelines for acids and petroleum products;
effective in protecting grain storages, farming and residential premises as it cannot be destroyed by rodents and insects. |
|
Environmentally safe |
applicable to all types of construction of tanks and production lines in food and pharmaceutical industries. |
