The leader of the green movement and winner of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for Climate Change, Al Gore insulated his personal estate with airkrete in October 2007.



 

Benefits

1. air krete® Insulation sample was resistant to mold growth at both 75% and 95% relative humidities. Neither molds were found to amplify in the materials at either humidity.

2. air krete®, over time, maintains a very high insulation value. (R = 3.9 at 2.07 lbs/ft3)

3. air krete® seals very effectively around the edges from infiltrating air.

4. air krete® does not expand, shrink or settle and is 100% cavity filling. It fills around and behind any obstructions and crevices. ( Dimensional stability- ASTM C 951: zero shrinkage)

5. air krete® does not inflict damage to environment or man. Material is non-toxic, does not create any ozone-depleting CFC’s and does not contain any formaldehyde or carcinogenic fibers.

6. air krete® does not burn and does not release any smoke and is also used as fire-stop material. ( ASTM E 84: 0- flame spread, 0- fuel contribution, 0- smoke-Test extended to 30 minutes with no further flame progression)

7. air krete® has a de-oiling effect and deters any rodents or insects.

8. air krete® is fully recyclable and can be used to enrich soil.

9. air krete® is very flexible and adaptable in its use in wall, roof and ceiling cavities in new or old construction.

10. air krete® is very cost-effective.

11. air krete® has the ability to absorb moisture without loss of insulation value. It therefore tempers and regulates indoor air humidity and enhances healthy and comfortable air quality.

12. air krete® is also a soundproofing material and used very effectively in interior sound partitions. In encasing plumbing pipes, water noises are very effectively reduced.

13. Because air krete® is Magnesium Oxide (MGO), a refractory cement it is ideal for high temperature applications.
