Experimental Determination of Material Characteristics of New Type of Plaster

Abstract:

New type of commercial plaster which is not well known in the market is investigated in this paper. It is a new product delivered from Turkey, contains 80% of perlit, the binder is unknown and according to the producer it is some type of polymer. According to the producer’s data, the open porosity is 80% and the main advantages are good thermal and mechanical properties. The data in the technical data sheet are not complete, some important information is missing, therefore the basic physical, mechanical, thermal and hygric properties were studied in this paper. Moisture diffusivity, thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity are determined as a function of moisture content. Obtained data were compared with ordinary lime-cement plaster. The results can be further utilized in the computer simulation for service life assessment studies.
