Introduction:
Foam glass is a new inorganic insulation material with glass as the main raw material, made through adding appropriate blowing agent, heating and roasting by high temperature tunnel kiln, and at last annealing and cooling process, which has a uniform independent airtight air-gap structure. It completely retains the chemical stability of inorganic glass, with properties of low volume density, low heat conductivity, anti-moisture permeability, water repellence, non-combustibility, no virulence variation, rodent proof, high mechanical strength, easy processing,
Applications:
1. Petroleum and chemical: reaction equipment, chemical pipelines, oil pipelines, liquefied natural gas pipelines, storage tank foundation, liquefied petroleum gas pipelines.
2. Construction: refrigerator, shipbuilding, roof insulation, inner and outer wall insulation, parking, ground screen, environment-friendly chimney lining insulation.
3. Underground engineering: subway, underground warehouse, tunnel
4. Other industries: national military project, pumice stone, teppanyaki wash brick, low temperature pipeline of air separation equipment, low temperature liquid storage tank, basic thermal insulation.
