摘要

newinsulating technologybeing introduced byLafageHolcim is describedas being able to improve energyefficiency of buildings, as wellas being fire-resistant andrecyclable.Airium is made of a cement-based slurry and aqueous foam, plus enclosed and distributed air bubbles.LafargeHolcim said it was the first mineral foam to offer top-tier insulating performance, whether it was needed for cold or hot temperatures.It said it could be used from wall to wall and from floor to ceiling, giving examples of block-filling.roof terraces, attics, sub-screeds and double walls.The material is said to be easy to use, and efficient as it was possible to build and insulate at the same time
