Manufacturing and properties of expanded clay as building material
Ceramzitonic sides should be attributed to the varieties. The additive and in the material under consideration are presented by expanded clay powder, but as a binder element, cement is used, but, sometimes for the implementation of this function, lime and construction gypsum are used. Ceramziton concrete also includes a certain amount of sand filler.
That expanded state expanded clay concrete is divided into dense as well as expanded clay concrete without sand filler. By its use, a expanded clay block can be a wall, warming purpose and insulation. Ceramisite blocks of thermal insulating destination are usually used in the role of material for thermal insulation in the composition of the wall structures of many structures. The mass of expanded clay concrete is in a sliding form in the range from 350 to 600 kg/m3, with a maximum compression force of 5 to 25 kilograms per centimeter square.
