Effect of Material Constitution on the Properties of Thermal Insulation Materials

Abstract:

Cement-based foam insulation board is a lightweight thermal insulation and have a characteristic of energy saving. The effects of material constitution on the properties of mechanical properties, dry densityand thermal conductivity for thermal insulation materials. The subject of fast hardening sulphoaluminate cement as cementitious materials, polystyrene particles as a lightweight thermal insulation material, adding a certain amount of water reducer, cellulose ethers, air entraining agent to make thermal insulation materials. The experimental results shows that the appropriate material constitution is following: the cement-bead ratio is 12, the ratio is 0.65, the water-cement ratio is 0.4, the content of water reducer is 0.5%, the content of cellulose ether is 0.4%, the content of the air entraining agent is 0.4% .This mix ratio test of mechanical properties are: flexural strength is 0.72MPa, compressive strength is 1.24MPa, dry density is 375kg/m³, water content is 2.3%, water absorption is 10.8%, softening coefficient is 0.95 and coefficient of thermal conductivity is 0.053 W/ (m K).
