Calcium silicate board is a new type of green and environmentally friendly building material. It not only offers the functions of traditional gypsum boards but also boasts superior performance. Its standout features include fire resistance, moisture resistance, and an extended lifespan.
This type of board is widely used in industrial and commercial construction projects. Examples include suspended ceilings, partition walls, and home renovations. It is also used as backing boards for furniture and advertising signs, ship bulkheads, and warehouse sheds. Calcium silicate boards are commonly used in network floorings and tunnel interior wall panels.
What Is Calcium Silicate Board?
Calcium silicate board is reinforced with inorganic mineral fibers or cellulose fibers. Siliceous and calcareous materials serve as the main binding agents. It is manufactured through pulping, molding, and high-temperature high-pressure steam curing. This process forms a calcium silicate gel, resulting in a high-performance new type of board.
Calcium silicate board is fireproof, moisture-resistant, sound-insulating, and moth-proof. Its exceptional durability makes it an ideal decorative board for ceilings and partitions.
Its main components include siliceous materials (such as quartz powder, fly ash). Calcareous materials (such as lime, cement). Reinforcing fibers and additives. These are proportionally mixed, then formed by felting or pressing and autoclaved.
Calcium silicate board offers high strength and light weight. It has good workability and is non-combustible. Thus, it is widely used in ship bulkheads, non-load-bearing building walls. and other places with fire safety requirements.
Six Major Advantages of Calcium Silicate Boards
1. Superior Fire Performance
Calcium silicate board is a non-combustible Class A1 material. In the event of a fire, the board does not burn and does not produce toxic smoke.
2. Excellent Waterproof Performance
Calcium silicate board has excellent waterproof properties. In high-humidity environments, such as bathrooms, it remains stable. It will not swell or deform.
3. High Strength
Calcium silicate board has very high strength. A 6mm thick board is stronger than a 9.5mm thick ordinary paper-faced gypsum board. Walls made from it are solid and reliable,不易受损破裂 (less prone to damage and cracking).
4. Good Dimensional Stability
Calcium silicate boards are produced with advanced formulations. Strict quality control ensures ideal rates of moisture expansion and drying shrinkage.
5. Good Thermal and Sound Insulation
Calcium silicate board offers good thermal insulation properties. A 10mm thick partition wall outperforms a common brick wall in insulation. It also provides excellent sound insulation.
6. Ultra-Long Service Life
Calcium silicate board has stable performance, is acid and alkali resistant, and does not corrode easily. It is unaffected by moisture or pests, ensuring an ultra-long service life.
Conclusion
Calcium silicate board is a versatile green building material. It is suitable for various construction and industrial scenarios. If you need high-performance fireproof and moisture-resistant boards, calcium silicate board is an ideal choice.
