Improving the Thermal Insulation Properties of Brick Products Using Chemical Additive Vuppor

Abstract:

The brick products which are nowadays produced for the building envelopes have to meet ever higher demands in terms of their thermal properties. These demands can be achieved not only by means of an appropriate geometric shape but also by means of producing a brick body with low thermal conductivity. Such thermal conductivity can be the result of application of various combustible pore-forming agents (such as wood sawdust and cellulose wastes). In this paper we outline the decrease of thermal conductivity by means of two modifications of the Vuppor chemical additive.
