Concrete Admixtures: Air-Entrainment. Air entrained concrete can increase the freeze-thaw durability of concrete. This type of admixture produces a more workable concrete than non-entrained concrete while reducing bleeding and segregation of fresh concrete. Improved resistance of concrete to severe frost action or freeze/thaw cycles.
Polystyrene s are good thermal insulators and are therefore often used as building insulation materials, such as in insulating concrete forms and structural insulated panel building systems. Grey polystyrene , incorporating graphite, has superior insulation properties.
The thermal insulating properties can be further boosted by adding special types of sand. Here again, Liapor has the solution: Using Liapor sand instead of natural sand makes it possible to reduce thermal conductivity by over 50 percent. Structural lightweight concrete is suitable, for example, for the construction of elegant, wide-span bridges ...

Ready-mixed thermo insulating plaster. POLYTECH® THERM is an insulating plaster premixed in bags, composed by cement, hydraulic lime, POLYTECH® THERM RESIN (compound of additives designed for plaster) and polystyrene beads treated with TECH additive. This formulation allows an excellent adhesion to the surface, plasticity of the mortar and waterproof plaster after curing.
Besides that, EPS is a common thermal insulator in construction industry. 2 Given its good thermal, structural strength, and water-resistance properties, EPS is one of the plastic s that pioneered the development of structural panels known as insulated concrete s.
Developed from NASA technology, HY-TECH ceramic insulating paint additive is a fine, white powder blend of high strength ceramic "microspheres". Each single ceramic microsphere is so small that it looks to the naked eye as if it is a single grain of flour, (slightly thicker than a human hair).
Thermal insulating mortar mainly prepared for the purpose of plastering wall, covering thermal insulating board, thermal insulating coating against fire and heat protection, sealing thermal bridges. Thermal insulating mortar can be easily plastered, sprayed, and coated, making it more convenient to use over thermal insulating concrete.
