The Effect of Particle Size of Expandable Graphite on the Properties of an Expandable Thermal Insulation Material

Abstract:

An expandable thermal insulation material was prepared which can expand the volume at high temperature. The paper is aimed to study the effect of the particle size of expandable graphite for this material, through comparing properties including expansion rate, compression strength and heat conductivity coefficient. The material with 200 mesh has the lowest expansion rate, but compression strength is the maximum 0.901MPa at 800°C while the lowest heat conductivity coefficients 0.118W/m·k at 1100°C which has a 25% reduction in the 50 mesh.
