Calcium Silicate Insulation Paste / Putty (Ready-Mix System)

 

High Temperature Insulation Paste – Just Add Water & Binder

Wedge Calcium Silicate Paste / Putty is a ready-to-mix high-performance insulation system designed for on-site application on complex geometries, pipes, valves, and irregular industrial surfaces.

Manufactured using ultra-fine calcium silicate insulation powder, this system transforms into a trowel-grade insulating paste when mixed with water + sodium silicate binder, delivering board-level performance without cutting or wastage.

 

Why Choose Calcium Silicate Paste Instead of Boards?

Key Advantages

  • No cutting, no joints → Zero thermal leakage
  • Ideal for valves, bends, flanges, irregular shapes
  • Faster installation (40–60% time saving)
  • Excellent adhesion to metal & masonry
  • High compressive strength after curing
  • Non-toxic, asbestos-free & fiber-free

 

Product Grades & Temperature Range

CSP 11001100°C

Suitable for low to ultra-high temperature insulation applications

 

Composition & Powder Analysis

The powder you provided is a fine, micro-porous calcium silicate blend with:

  • Particle Size: 10–300 microns
  • Bulk Density: 180–260 kg/m³
  • Chemical Structure:
    • SiO₂: 35–55%
    • CaO: 30–44%
    • Al₂O₃: 1–10%

This structure creates:

  • High porosity (>87%)
  • Low thermal conductivity
  • Lightweight yet strong insulation matrix

Step 2 – Add Powder

  • Slowly add powder into liquid
  • Use low-speed mixer (300–500 RPM)
  • Mix for 5–10 minutes until lump-free paste

Step 3 – Achieve Putty Consistency

  • Target: Smooth, trowelable, non-slump paste
  • Pot Life: 40–60 minutes

Application Method (Paste / Putty Use)

  • Apply using trowel or spatula
  • Layer thickness: 10–25 mm per coat
  • Maximum total thickness: 100 mm
  • Dry time between coats: 4–8 hours

Final Curing

  • Air dry: 24–48 hours
  • Heat ramp: ≤50°C/hour

👉 Full strength achieved after first thermal cycle

 

Performance After Curing

Thermal Conductivity (Low Heat Loss)

  • 100°C: ~0.055–0.063 W/mK
  • 400°C: ~0.10–0.112 W/mK

Calcium Silicate Insulation Paste / Putty (Ready-Mix System)

  • 1. What is calcium silicate insulation paste used for?

    Calcium silicate insulation paste is used for thermal insulation of pipes, valves, flanges, and irregular industrial surfaces where pre-formed insulation boards cannot be easily applied.

    2. How do you prepare calcium silicate paste on-site?

    The paste is prepared by mixing:

    • Calcium silicate powder
    • Sodium silicate binder
    • Water

    It is then blended using a low-speed mixer to achieve a smooth, trowelable consistency.

    3. What temperature can calcium silicate paste withstand?

    Depending on the grade, calcium silicate paste can withstand temperatures from 650°C up to 1100°C, making it ideal for high-temperature industrial applications.

    4. What are the advantages over insulation boards?

    • No cutting or fitting required
    • Ideal for complex shapes
    • Reduced installation time (up to 60%)
    • Better sealing with no thermal gaps or joints

    5. How long does the paste take to dry and cure?

    • Initial drying: 24–48 hours (air dry)
    • Full strength: Achieved after controlled heating and first thermal cycle

    6. Is calcium silicate paste safe to use?

    Yes, it is:

    • 100% asbestos-free
    • Non-toxic and fiber-free
    • Safe when used with standard PPE (mask, gloves, goggles)
