Light Weight Filling Material
CIDOMLITE
CIDOMLITE is the geological name given to a group of hydrated laminar minerals which are aluminium iron magnesium silicates resembling mica in appearance. Minute layers of water are trapped between the plates, and when the particles are subjected to heat they have the unusual property of exfoliating, or expanding, due to the inter-laminar generation of steam.
APPLICATION
- Thermal Insulation
- Roof Surki
- Fire Protection
- Sound Deadening Medium
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
- CIDOMLITE is the brand name of hydrated laminar minerals which are feather-weight, granular, in organic
mineral product resembling mica in appearance. - CIDOMLITE is used as light weight filling material in modern buildings due to its feather weight nature
- CIDOMLITE has high thermal insulation value, fire proofing, economy in cost, easiness of application and
high performance. - CIDOMLITE-CEMENT MIX has no shrinkage and is not subjected to volume changes once it has been laid. It
has good comprehensive strength when CIDOMLITE mixing is been covered with a screed concrete of
minimum 20mm thickness.
