Thermolitys: Ultralight, high thermal efficiency

Thermolitys has a dry density between 600 kg/m3 and 1,200 kg/m3, a compressive­ strength after 28 days from 5 to 25 MPa and a k-value ­between 0.2 W/mK and 0.5 W/mK Figure: Cerib

Growing emphasis on the concept of sustainable construction is having a substantial effect on materials: they must be able to combine structural strength, energy efficiency, and low environmental impact. The research centre of the French concrete industry developed Thermolitys, a new range of ultralight concrete. The material with the European patent EP 2 364 962 is supposed to be a construction material of tomorrow.

According to Cerib Thermolitys is a structural concrete whose insulating properties lie between those of lightweight-aggregate concretes and autoclaved aerated concretes. It is...
