Abstract
Physical and mechanical properties of the heat-insulating composition based on high-strength anhydrite binder with expanded perlite sand as a lightweight aggregate have been studied. The study has evaluated the influence of two poring components, air-entraining additives and aluminum powder suspension, on the main characteristics of the composition: the compressive strength of the sample, its average density, thermal conductivity, and water absorption. The studies have shown that adding an air-entraining agent in an amount of 1.2% by the weight of dry fluoroanhydrite significantly influenced the decrease in the average density (up to 37%) of the material. The developed composition with a lightweight aggregate based on expanded perlite sand and an air-entraining additive can be used in construction as an efficient heat-insulating material, including for filling cavity walls during frame construction.
