Experimental studies of ecologically-clean thermal insulation non-autoclave composites based on flax shive and different kinds of lime containing binders

Abstract

The main object of the this paper is to study the effect of the mix proportions with flax shive as filling agent in composie system on selected physico-mechanical properties of the light weight composites in influence of new kind of lime-silica binder. The artcle presents eco-friendly composite thermal insuation materials designed as an alternative to traditional cement-lime binders. When adapted to local raw material resources of a particular region the structural materials can prove to be a promising material for eco-friendly timber frame housing construction in the Republic of Belarus, which is to some extent a revival of the millennial experience in the use of crop waste when constructing low-rise buildings.
