Benefits
Airum
Airium from Holcim is a fully recyclable mineral foam for insulation. This insulating system increases a building’s energy efficiency and can even be applied in green retrofitting applications to expand a building’s lifespan. Airium is mineral-based, thus, it is a fully recyclable foam that does not release any volatile organic compounds, enhancing indoor air quality.
Applied as a semi-liquid foam, Airium can reach any shape or corner where it hardens to create a long-lasting, fire-resistant insulating solution that is also unfavorable to insects and rodents and has a low CO2 footprint. Airium is made of a cement-based slurry, aqueous foam, and enclosed and distributed air bubbles. It can be used in different climatic conditions.
