Abstract - Scholarly articles exploring Perlite Filled System (PFS) panels, also known as Perlite-based insulation panels, focus on their thermal performance, mechanical properties, and applications in building construction. They investigate the use of perlite, a naturally occurring volcanic rock, as a lightweight aggregate in concrete or other composite materials to create insulation panels with good thermal resistance.
This paper investigates the development of geopolymer foam boards using perlite wastes as raw material. The combination of geopolymerization technology with the foaming process creates a new type of lightweight material. Our results show that the increase in hydrogen peroxide concentration leads to improved thermal insulation properties. The developed perlite-based thermal insulation panels exhibit low density, high thermal resistance, and potential for use in energy-efficient buildings. This study demonstrates the feasibility of utilizing perlite wastes in the production of sustainable building materials.
This project draws inspiration from the concept of circular economy — turning waste into resources — and aims to create a sustainable solution by developing a composite insulation panel using: OPC Cement as the primary binder,
Fly ash as a pozzolanic and eco-friendly filler,
Perlite ore for its excellent thermal insulating properties,
Shredded printed receipts to repurpose hazardous, non-recyclable waste,And jute fibers for reinforcement and improved structural integrity.The resulting PFS Panel not only offers competitive thermal insulation, fire resistance, and soundproofing, but also helps to significantly reduce environmental burden. It is a promising step toward green building materials that are cost-effective, durable, and eco-conscious. This project focuses on experimental validation of the panel's strength, fire performance, thermal efficiency, and overall viability as a replacement for synthetic insulation products
