The use of pulverized wastes of basalt production as a filler of gypsum compositions

Abstract

These studies are aimed at improving the performance of gypsum materials and products by using in their composition waste production of basalt fibers. The purpose of this study is to prove the possibility of using waste production of basalt fibers as a filler in gypsum composites. As the main materials used gypsum binder (Samara), as well as waste production of basalt fibers (Tver production). The positive effect of the waste is due to the participation of soluble minerals of basalt in the processes of hardening of gypsum binder. Also, the waste particles form a more perfect structure of gypsum stone., filling the pore space. It is revealed that the use of waste production of basalt fibers is advisable to use as a filler in gypsum composites.
