Arbolite is considered a building material for the construction of load -bearing walls. This is concrete that contains cement and chopped wood.
Arbolite is made of wood chips. Has advantages before opilcoo concrete. First, thermal insulation and noise insulation at a high level. Secondly, arbolite-strong building material. It prevents destruction at high load on the arbolite block. Fourthly, excellent thermal conductivity. Low -rise buildings are built from it without a layer of insulation. Fifth, environmentally friendly arbolite block. It contains 90 % of wood. Sixth, is not subject to rot and formation of the fungus throughout the entire period of operation.
Now you can dwell in detail on the manufacture of arbolite blocks. A large percentage contains additives and aggregates, minerals.
Portland cement – a particularly knitting substance. Uses the substance brand 400 and above. Sawdust and wood sliver are fillers. In the manufacture of the arbolite block, stems of flax and hemp can be used. Sawdust, chips, stems must be subjected to special training in order to completely eliminate water -soluble substances. The lime solution is processed. The mixture is withstanded from three days. As an alternative: chips, chips, sawdust can be placed in the open air for more than three months.
To increase the strength of the arbolite block, chemicals are added to the mixture. As them, gashneen lime, soluble glass is used, but more efficiently use calcium chloride, aluminum sulfate. These substances can be used both in a combination of each other and separately. The number of additives is not more than 4 % of the total weight of the binder. Chemicals before adding are dissolved in water.
