THERMAL INSULATION COATINGS FOR VARIOUS PURPOSES

Abstract

The work discusses the study of the possibility of using thermal insulation coatings based on foam in construction. The relevance of the use of thermal insulation coatings is shown – energy saving, heat and noise protection, fire resistance. Advantages of thermal insulation coatings over existing materials are considered. The developed compositions of two environmentally friendly coatings based on organic-mineral compounds are given. The article describes methods of foam stabilization to extend the service life of thermal insulation coatings. The foam stabilization mechanism is based on sol-gel processes when using SiO2 sol and hydration processes when using cement. Foams obtained by those mechanisms are proposed to be called hardening building foams. The article describes the possibility of imparting different colors to thermal insulation coatings by introducing organic dyes into the foaming composition.
