Fibrolite plates and their use in construction

Fibrolite slabs are biodegradable, difficult to burn, environmentally friendly, multifunctional building material obtained by pressing a mixture consisting of wood shavings, specially cut on a wood-wool machine, Portland cement, whose brand should be not less than 400, water and chemical additives, Such as lime, liquid glass, calcium chloride, aluminum sulphate. Fibrolite slabs are divided into three grades: F-300 is used as a heat-insulating material, F-400 and F-500 are used as structural-heat-insulating and acoustic materials. Having an optimally selected composition, fibrolite plates have many advantages. Among them are the following:

• The fibrolite slab is ecologically clean, as it consists exclusively of natural materials, there are no dangerous or harmful substances. It has a long service life, which is not less than 100 years, which equates this material to steel, reinforced concrete, etc. This makes it possible to build it on the basis of a structure that will not require major repairs during the entire service life, which will significantly reduce the financial costs.
• Fibrolite slabs have the ability to actively hydro-regulate, as they are very sensitive to changes in air humidity, with a slight fluctuation of this index, the humidity of the plate itself also changes.
• This material differs by its high fire resistance, since wood fibers, which are sealed with a cement "cocoon", have a small thickness: 0.15-0.25 mm. Difficult flammability fibroplit depends on the cement sealing of wood fibers. There are no synthetic components in the material, as a result of which there is no emission of toxic substances and smoke.
• Having a relatively large mass and cellular structure, fibrolite plates have excellent sound insulation and provide acoustic comfort.
• There is an active protection against humidity - this is due to the ability of the material to carry out rapid moisture removal. This gives the material high frost resistance, as well as biological resistance (protection from the effects of harmful fungi, bacteria and insects).
• These plates have excellent impact resistance due to the fact that they consist of long wood fibers up to 250 mm in size, which are laid in a horizontal direction and glued together with cement mortar, i.e. This material is long-fiber in structure.
• The branched and cellular structure of the wooden fibers of this construction material gives it excellent plasticity and toughness, which fully ensures its structural strength.
• The presence of air pores and a high content of wood gives fibroblocks the opportunity to have high thermal insulation properties.

In general, fibrolite slabs meet all the conditions that allow the construction of comfortable and safe buildings.
