Question:

How much cement does the vermiculite heat preservation layer need?

How much cement does the vermiculite heat preservation layer need?

Answer:

Cement and expanded vermiculite, cement should be no less than 325, usually choose 425 ordinary Portland cement. The volume ratio of cement and expanded vermiculite is generally 1:5, which is economical and reasonable. Cement and sand aspect than the general 1:1. Site inspection method: mix the cement paste with fine powder and knead it by hand.

Vermiculite is a kind of hydrate, which is blocky, flaky and granular. It is the product of weathering and alteration of natural mineral such as biotite. The interlayer water molecule is ignited at high temperature, and the volume is increased by 18-25 times. Rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, aluminum, iron, magnesium, silicate and other ingredients. Vermiculite has higher layer charge number, so it has higher cation exchange capacity and stronger cation exchange adsorption capacity. Characteristics: light weight, and good adsorption properties, not decay, can be used for 3-5 years (unlike the humus, coconut shell, clothing and other perishable)
The cement vermiculite insulation layer is a heat preservation layer formed by solidifying cement, vermiculite and water, and the cement vermiculite is made by mixing the cement and the vermiculite according to the volume ratio 1:5. The bulk density is about 350KG/ cubic meters.
