Compression-resistant
Granular Energocell® foam glass of 150-175 kg/m3 bulk density has in itself a modulus of load-bearing capacity of 40-50 MPa at a 1.4 compaction rate. Therefore, it can be used as load bearing thermal insulation.
Based on the laboratory and the in-situ tests for the E2 modulus of load-bearing capacity of the material itself (150-175 kg/m3), at a compaction rate of 1.4, we have defined the following value: E2=50MPa. In industrial floor applications, the E2 value measured on the foam glass layer may be improved, if a bedding layer with a higher load-bearing capacity is placed under or on it. In industrial floor applications, the E2 value measured on the foam glass layer may be improved, if a bedding layer with a higher load-bearing capacity is placed under or on it. With the Energocell® granules industrial floors of extreme load bearing capacity can be built.
