Understanding the exact technical specifications and structural performance data of any new building material is critically important for architects and structural engineers when designing new construction projects. Ceramsite Panel, the high performance Expanded Clay Cement Panel, has well documented, independently tested technical specifications that make it easy for design professionals to integrate the material into their building designs. Standard Ceramsite Panel units are typically manufactured in common thicknesses ranging from 75mm to 150mm, with standard panel dimensions of 600mm in width and 2440mm in height, though custom dimensions can be produced to meet specific project requirements.
The density of Expanded Clay Cement Panel typically ranges between 600kg per cubic meter and 900kg per cubic meter, depending on the exact mix design and thickness specification. This means a standard 100mm thick Ceramsite Panel weighs approximately 70kg per square meter, which is roughly one third the weight of an equivalent thickness solid concrete panel. Despite this extremely low weight, Ceramsite Panel delivers impressive structural strength, with standard panels achieving a compressive strength of over 5MPa, which is more than enough to support typical interior partition loads. Expanded Clay Cement Panel also demonstrates excellent impact resistance, with standard 100mm panels able to withstand repeated heavy impacts without cracking or breaking.
The technical performance data for Ceramsite Panel also includes detailed long term durability test results that prove the material will maintain its full performance for over 50 years of service. Independent accelerated aging testing has confirmed that after the equivalent of 50 years of natural weathering, the strength, fire resistance and thermal insulation properties of Expanded Clay Cement Panel remain almost unchanged from their original values. This extensive verified technical data gives design professionals complete confidence that Ceramsite Panel will perform exactly as expected throughout the entire service life of their building projects.
