Thin-layer thermal insulation coatings based on high-filled spheroplastics with polyorganosiloxane binder

Abstract

Thermal insulation coatings, based on polyorganosiloxane as a binder and hollow glass microspheres, have been studied in this research. The developed materials are widely applied in various branches of science and engineering basically in construction. Components interaction processes are comprehensively studied. Spraying production methods of thin layer thermal insulation coatings have been researched. Ideal technological parameters for polyorganosiloxane coatings hardening depending on components ratio, ambient temperature, solvent and curative concentration have been determined. Stress related characteristics of constructional energy saving materials containing polyorganosiloxane have been researched. Components structure and ratio concerning compound extension strength properties have been revealed. Substantiation of Danneberg model application for the strength characteristics enhancing, when hollow microspheres are introduced, has been suggested. Thermal properties of coating thermal insulation have been studied. To research these characteristics standard methods applying devices IT-S-400 and IT-λ-400 have been chosen. Filler concentration increase was stated to decrease the composition heat conductivity coefficient and to the reduction of temperature dependence of this index. The authors suggested to employ the developed thermal insulation materials for construction and power engineering facilities operating under high temperature and other unfavorable environment.
