Is SIL-CELL® a thermal and acoustic insulator?
Yes, SIL-CELL® has insulating properties. The porous, multicellular structure of the perlite microsphere gives it excellent thermal and acoustic performance.
It effectively reduces thermal conductivity in plaster, mortar, or coating formulations by limiting thermal bridging. This makes it an ideal filler for insulating coatings, lightweight thermal concretes, or composite insulation panels.
In acoustics, it can also help dampen noise and reduce reverberation when incorporated into sound-absorbing materials. These properties vary depending on the particle size used, the incorporation rate, and the nature of the final substrate.
