The invention relates to a diatomite building
thermal insulation material prepared from the components in parts by weight: modified diatomite,
coal ash,
quartz sand, anti-
cracking fibers,
plant cellulose, a
flame retardant, a
foaming agent and a binding agent. The diatomite building
thermal insulation material is prepared by stirring and uniformly mixing the modified diatomite, the
coal ash, the
quartz sand and the anti-
cracking fibers according to the weight ratio; then, adding water, carrying out stirring while heating, and slowly adding the
plant cellulose, the
flame retardant, the foamingagent and the binding agent; and then, carrying out
hot press molding to obtain the diatomite building
thermal insulation material. The modified diatomite is used as a main
raw material, so that the diatomite building thermal insulation material is high in
porosity, good in thermal storage property and stable in
chemical property; due to the addition of the anti-
cracking fibers and the
plant cellulose, the
mechanical strength and flexibility are improved; due to the use of the binding agent and the
flame retardant, the
fire resistance of the thermal insulation material is improved; and the
coal ash and
waste paper powder are added as auxiliary materials, so that the utilization ratios of
waste paper and coal ash are increased, and the diatomite building thermal insulation material is energy-saving and environment-friendly. The diatomite building thermal insulation material is simple in preparation method, low in cost, light in weight and convenient to construct and is an environment-friendly material.
