THERMOCELL In Depth: Specific Material Properties

Specific Thermocell Material Properties include:

Inorganic, inert, non-reactive and environmentally safe
Highly heat resistant, comparable to conventional fire brick
Low thermal conductivity
High thermal shock resistance without disintegration, cracking or spalling as high as 2300° F (1260° C)
Self leveling and pumpable
Easily formed and poured

Aggregate Size
THERMOCELL can be produced with or without solid aggregates, depending on the application.

Curing Method
THERMOCELL will typically cure within the initial 24 hour period and continue to gain strength in time.

Forming and Reinforcement
THERMOCELL can be poured with or without shape forms, depending upon the application. This product can be utilized in pre-cast applications as well. THERMOCELL readily accepts reinforcement in order to increase strength of final product

Strength
THERMOCELL has a compressive strength that is dependent upon the mix density, composition, and amount of foaming agent. Strength will continue to develop over time due to the nature of the add-mixtures.

Fire/Heat Resistance
THERMOCELL will not spall or explode when exposed to extreme heat or flame.
Unlike concrete, THERMOCELL will withstand repeated thermally shocking situations without cracking or showing signs of stress.

Water
THERMOCELL’S cellular structure gives it very low water absorption values.
The amount of water added to THERMOCELL will depend upon the mix composition and specific application.
