Use of Thermal Porization of Mixtures When Obtaining Plates from Exfoliated Vermiculite

A method of manufacturing plates from exfoliated vermiculite and liquid sodium glass, when thermal porization of mixture in a closed volume is offered. As a result of the implementation of this method in the product matrix of sodium silicate foam is formed by ligaments, internal particles of exfoliated vermiculite. Products obtained by the developed technology is significantly lighter and stronger, and the manufacturing process shorter.
