Ceramsite Panel shows extremely reliable low temperature resistance performance that makes it very suitable for construction projects located in severe cold regions where the winter temperature can drop below minus 40 degrees Celsius. The closed cell structure of expanded clay aggregate inside the panel does not absorb water so there is almost no free water inside the panel structure that will freeze and expand at extremely low temperatures. This completely eliminates the common freeze thaw damage problem that plagues many ordinary cement based building materials in cold regions. Long term field test data from severe cold regions shows that after more than 20 years of repeated freeze thaw cycles the Ceramsite Panel still maintains 95 percent of its original structural strength without any surface cracking or peeling. The panel also has very low thermal conductivity which greatly reduces the heat loss through the wall helping buildings in cold regions cut down their winter heating consumption significantly. Many residential and public building projects in high latitude severe cold regions have chosen Ceramsite Panel as their main wall material and these buildings show very stable performance even in the harshest winter climate conditions.
