Foamed ceramic moldings
An inorganic decorative molding made from ceramic tailings, feldspar, and quartz, with a foaming agent added, and produced through ball milling, shaping, and high‑temperature sintering at 1200°C. It features a uniform closed‑cell structure throughout, serving as a replacement for traditional GRC and EPS moldings while addressing common issues such as cracking, detachment, and flammability, making it an upgraded solution for exterior wall decoration.
Performance Metrics
1. Fire Performance: Class A1 (Non-combustible)
2. Bulk density: 280–320 kg/m³
3. Compressive strength: ≥3.0 MPa
4. Flexural strength: ≥1.5 MPa
5. Water absorption: ≤0.5% (after 24-hour immersion)
6. Thermal conductivity: ≤0.12 W/(m·K)
7. Freeze–thaw resistance: After 50 freeze–thaw cycles, no cracking or spalling is observed.
8. Service Life: ≥50 years (aligned with the building’s main structure)
Scope of Application
It is used for thermal insulation trims in residential buildings, public buildings, commercial buildings, and energy‑saving retrofits of existing structures.
Product Advantages
1. Fire Safety: Class A1 non-combustible, completely addressing the flammability of EPS moldings and the poor fire resistance of GRC moldings.
2. Excellent durability: Made from high-temperature sintered ceramic, it is resistant to aging, UV radiation, and freeze–thaw cycles, remaining crack‑free and free of delamination for 50 years.
3. Excellent decorative appeal: Customizable into any style—European, Chinese, or modern—with a refined surface and a high‑end aesthetic.
4. Lightweight and high-strength: With a density of 280–320 kg/m³, it weighs only one-third as much as GRC moldings, reducing structural loads and ensuring safe installation.
5. Waterproof and Impermeable: Water absorption rate ≤ 0.5%, preventing rainwater penetration and thereby avoiding freeze-thaw damage and mold growth.
Instructions for Use
1. Layout and Surveying: Mark out the lines according to the design drawings, establish installation control lines, and determine the installation location and elevation.
2. Substrate Preparation: The substrate at the installation location must be smooth and clean, with a flatness deviation of no more than 3 mm/m; if necessary, use cement mortar to achieve proper leveling.
3. Bonding Installation: Use a dedicated polymer-modified mortar for full‑surface bonding, with a bond area of ≥80%.
4. Mechanical Fixing: For moldings with a length of ≥1.5 m, additional stainless steel hangers shall be installed, with a spacing between hangers not exceeding 500 mm.
5. Joint Treatment: Leave a 2–3 mm expansion joint at the line‑joining areas, fill it with a dedicated sealant, and smooth the surface by sanding.
6. Surface Treatment: In accordance with design specifications, apply exterior wall coatings or implement stone‑like or copper‑like finishes to enhance the decorative effect.
