Product Information
Description
Airium is an inorganic insulation material made from cement slurry and a protein-based aqueous foam containing many finely distributed air bubbles. It is a lightweight, non-combustible, thermally insulating, and fully recyclable product used in the construction industry. It is produced on-site in a specially developed truck (Airium-LKW) in Austria. Five different densities are declared: 70, 100, 150, 180, and 250 kg/m3, corresponding to different applications such as BlockFill, precast wall solutions, sub-screed leveling, and attic insulation.
1 cubic meter of Airium mineral foam
