METHOD OF MANUFACTURING HEAT-INSULATION PRODUCTS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: manufacture of building materials.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to manufacture of polystyrene-concrete parts for use in construction as wall and heat-insulating material. Manufacture of heat-insulation products comprises preparation of molding mix from Portland cement (60.0-65.6%), water, and granulated foamed polystyrene with loose density 10-20 kg/m³ (2.2-4.4%), molding, and heat treatment of products. Invention resides in that molding mix additionally includes microsilica (6.6-12.0%) and superplasticizer S-3 (0.6-0.66), starting mix Portland cement/microsilica/foamed polystyrene is first stirred for 2-3 min, then water containing superplasticizer is added, resulting mix is stirred for further 3-5 min and loaded into molding boxes. Molding involves vibrocompaction and pressing followed by unloading of products from molding boxes and heat treatment: 2 h at 15-25°C, 8 h at 40-60°C, and 1 h at 15-30°C.

EFFECT: reduced consumption of cement, improved placeability and moldability of mix, increased strength of products, and increased productivity.
