Foamed Ceramics: The Green Star of New Building Materials

Foamed Ceramics: The Green Star of New Building Materials

Dec 03, 2024

Foamed ceramics is an inorganic non-metallic material, known for its unique high porosity closed cell structure. It consists of inorganic mineral raw materials (including industrial wastes and mine tailings) mixed with special foaming materials in a certain proportion, and finally formed into a light weight material through the processes of batching, ball milling, spray powdering (or dry powdering), fabric firing and cutting and processing. This material has a wide range of applications in the field of building materials, usually as a non-structural load-bearing parts, can be made into a variety of light weight building materials, such as light weight partition wall panels, light weight ceilings, light weight exterior decorative thermal insulation panels, thermal insulation boards, roof waterproof thermal insulation boards, waterproof subway partition wall panels, light weight decorative products for the exterior wall, artistic sculpture hanging paintings, artistic decorative lines, fish ponds, roof planting boxes, lightweight artistic relief works, and so on.


Characteristics of foamed ceramics:
Light weight: the weight capacity is only 380~430kg/m³, which is half of the traditional aerated brick, effectively reducing the building structure load.
High strength: the compressive strength is more than 5MPa, and the single-point hanging force is more than 100kg, which meets the hanging demand of water heaters, TVs, air conditioners and other home appliances.
Fireproof and flame retardant: After calcined at a high temperature of 1200℃, it forms Class A non-combustible material with excellent fireproof performance.
Waterproof and moisture-proof: The closed-cell structure makes it completely non-absorbent, effectively preventing the conduction and penetration of water and moisture.
Thermal insulation: high porosity closed cell structure gives it excellent thermal insulation performance, thermal conductivity is only 0.064W/(M-K).
Sound insulation and noise reduction: 10cm-thick foamed ceramic airborne sound insulation is 43dB, which meets the daily demand for sound insulation.
Green environmental protection: the main raw material is granite tailings, which is in line with the concept of green development, circular economy and comprehensive utilization of resources.
Easy installation:
The installation process of foamed ceramic partition wall panels adopts dry construction, with tongue-and-groove structure on both sides of the wall panels, the joints are bonded with tile adhesive, and the beams, panels and columns of the main structure are connected with galvanized L-type corner yards, so that the whole process is safe and civilized, and the production of construction waste is reduced.

Foamed ceramics as a new type of green building materials, not only in the performance of outstanding, but also in the application of a broad prospect. With the continuous improvement of people's requirements for building environmental protection and energy saving, foamed ceramics will undoubtedly become an important choice in the future market of building materials.
