Original Abstract

The development of lightweight thermal insulation plasters containing alternative binders as a partial cement substitute opens the possibilities of using new, eco-friendly materials in civil engineering. The substitution of cement significantly reduces the energy consumption these materials’ manufacturing. In addition, they contribute to the overall energy performance of buildings, which represents another environmental benefit. Concerning the negative effect moisture has on the thermal insulation properties of plasters, the investigation focused on the influence of various hydrophobic agents on the hygrothermal behaviour of the newly developed porous materials. The goal of the research was to develop eco-friendly thermal insulation and rehabilitation silicate materials and to analyse their moisture transport.

Keywords

Thermal insulation plasters, moisture transport, lightweight aggregate, hydrophobic agent, porosity, thermal conductivity.
