Speaking of ceramic particles, many friends may not know, but in fact, it is also a commonly used building material, often used in ground laying. Ceramic particles have good durability, long service life, and a wide range of applications. They are widely used in roads, parks, stations, airports, and other places. What material is ceramic pellets made of? What are the advantages of ceramic particles? Let's take these questions with us and learn about the relevant content together!
What material is ceramic pellets made of?
Its main raw materials are kaolin, feldspar, quartz, clay, etc., which are then fired through high-temperature technology. During the firing process, it will produce many small pores, with low density, light weight, good environmental protection, and good insulation performance. Therefore, ceramic particles are widely used in road construction and housing construction.
What are the advantages of ceramic particles?
1. Low density and light weight: Although this material has a low density and light weight, its texture is hard and has good wear resistance.
2. Insulation: Due to its many small holes inside, it has good insulation performance. If used to mix concrete, its thermal conductivity is usually between 0.3 and 0.8, which is about twice lower than ordinary concrete.
3. Good fire resistance: It has good fire resistance, which can be said to be four times that of ordinary concrete, and its stability is also good. Even in high temperature or severe cold areas, it is not easy to change.
4. Good seismic resistance: In addition, it has good deformation resistance and good seismic resistance. Even in earthquake prone areas, its damage rate is only 5%, while the damage rate of brick and concrete buildings is about 50%.
5. Low water absorption: It has a low water absorption rate and good impermeability. Experiments have shown that its impermeability is superior to ordinary concrete. The impermeability performance of ordinary concrete is mostly B6, while that of ceramic aggregate concrete is between B18-B25.
