Heat-insulating Dry Construction Mortars Based on Production Waste

Abstract

 Compositions of new heat-insulating dry construction mortars were developed in the work, using diatomite available in the territory of RA: CEM I 52,5N class cement, the waste of Alaverdi copper-molybdenum plant. The application purposes of the above mentioned components are shown. The parameters of the compositions were compared to those of the dry heat-insulating construction mortar «PENOSTEK ТМ-30» highly demanded in RF market. The obtained results allow to conclude that the waste of Alaverdi copper-molybdenum plant can serve as filler that ensures the plasticity of the mentioned mortar, Sisiyan deposite diatomite can be used as heat-insulating fillers in dry construction mortars (DCM), CEM I 52,5N class cement can serve as binder in production of DCMs.
