Whether foam glass is suitable for external wall thermal insulation of steel structure

Now, with people's understanding of thermal insulation materials, they gradually know the importance of using thermal insulation materials in buildings. When it comes to thermal insulation materials, we have to say that foam glass materials are popular in the market at present. This material is one of the materials that have been vigorously used for customs clearance in recent years. Traditionally, the use rate of buildings is very high. Many people have raised questions about whether foam glass materials are suitable for external walls of steel structure buildings.
 
First of all, let's introduce the production process of foam glass manufacturers. It uses waste glass as the main raw material for production, and uses foaming agents and modification additives as auxiliary materials for production. After fine crushing and average mixing, it is an inorganic metallic glass material made from the high temperature melting, foaming, annealing and other processes in the heat treatment process. This material was first developed by Pittsburgh Company in the United States. After its successful development, it redefined people's understanding of glass. Many people were surprised to first contact this material, but they did not expect that glass could be processed into thermal insulation products. Then let's talk about whether this material is suitable for external insulation of steel structures.

Let's introduce that steel structure buildings are generally divided into:

1. Composite sandwich panels are made of two layers of color steel plates, with a layer of polystyrene board or rock wool between the two layers of color steel plates. This type of composite sandwich panel also has the problem of being easily corroded and rusted, and the insulation effect is not ideal.

2. Single panel structure exterior walls are made of one layer of color steel plates, which have extremely poor insulation, sound insulation, and performance, and cannot provide insulation.

Therefore, this structure needs to be used as thermal insulation material. In fact, it is a very good choice to choose foam glass. Installing this material on the external wall effectively reduces the contact between air and color steel plate, thus reducing the rusting phenomenon of the plate. Moreover, this material is chosen because the price of foam glass plate is not expensive, and its service life is better than that of traditional materials. Moreover, the installation process is more convenient, and it has the advantages of acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, and excellent fire protection effect. This is also the reason why some chemical plants and workshops choose this thermal insulation material. Therefore, we can know that foam glass plate material is suitable for external wall insulation of steel structures.
