| Abstract |
Recently, skyscraper building and apartment fires, which were rapidly spread out from a low floor to a rooftop, have become a frequent
occurrence in mass media. This fire problems have a fatal disadvantage that the exterior wall finish of the building emits toxic gas in case
of fire by using dry bit method or organic insulating material. Therefore, in order to remedy these problems, many exterior wall finishing
construction methods have been proposed, but the current trend is to use existing construction methods due to problems such as economy,
weight, and durability. On the other hand, in countries such as Germany and Japan, ceramic sidings are used as exterior finishing material
for buildings, which is environmentally friendly, excellent natural beauty, long life, easy maintenance and high-quality exterior materials.
However, those ceramic sidings have still the problems such as manufacturing cost and weight problem because of boosting the sintering
temperature up to 1,350℃ or more. Also, conventional CRC, MgO, FRP sidings which are composed of pulp, glass fiber and organic
materials, have been reports of deformation due to ultraviolet rays, discoloration, corrosion and scattering, surface rupture, lifting and peeling.
Therefore, in this study as an alternative to solve this problem, halosite nano kaolin produced in Sancheong in Korea and frit flux were used
to satisfy the required properties as ceramic siding using low temperature sintering (below 1,000°C) and lightweight materials such as pearlite.
This study aims to design the optimal formulation and process of materials and to study the characteristics of nano-coated ceramic siding
material development and to present relevant basic data. The findings show that ceramic siding for nanocoated building materials is excellent
as a natural ceramic siding building material. The fire resistance of natural minerals and nano particle refining technology satisfy the bending
strength of 80kgf / cm2, the volume ratio of 2.0 and the absorption rate of less than 10.0%. |
