Cementitious Insulated Drywall Panels Reinforced with Kraft-Paper Honeycomb Structures

Standard building practices commonly use gypsum-based drywall panels on the interior wall and ceiling applications as a partition to protect components of assembly from moisture fire uphold code ensure safety standards. Unfortunately, have poor resistance water are susceptible mold growth in humid climates. Furthermore, accumulation landfills can result toxic leachate impacting surrounding environment. A proposed solution pitfalls arises its substitution with new lightweight composite honeycomb sandwich panel. This study aimed develop improvements flexural strength thermal insulating properties through combined cementitious binder mix kraft-paper structures. The alternative is created by following standard outlined ASTM C305 create cement experimenting admixtures improve material performance order cater panel application. structure bonded cured “sandwich panel” assembly. results indicate that sample performed well after 7 days exhibited superior at 28 days, while providing substantial increase R-value 5.84 m2K/W when compared panels, an 5.41 m2K/W. In addition, reinforced thick core addition flax fibres boards possesses better conductivity, reduction 42%, lower density, vapour transmission comparison thin
