Radar-Transparent and Radar-Absorbing Ceramic Foam

Russian innovative developments in the field of radar absorbing materials set themselves with great confidence on the Russian market. The «Cerapen» company that operates in the field of innovative construction materials that are based on ceramic foam has developed and patented a technology to produce glass-ceramic foam for construction purposes that is called Cerapen. This technique ensures the production of cellular glass ceramic that is foamed when staved without metal molds in roller tunnel kilns with the average density of 0.15 to 0.55 t/m³.

Cerapen is a revolutionary universal construction and heat-insulating material with a unique combination of physical, technical and operational properties. Cerapen can be used as the basic building material (foundation, cladding structures) as well as the material to reconstruct and to provide heat insulation of buildings (heat-insulating finishing tiles, roofing elements with heat-insulating properties).

The versatile use of Cerapen is possible during construction of residential, public and administrative buildings, as well as in industrial and agricultural construction. As it has high tenacity, excellent thermal insulation properties, practically zero water absorption (less than 1%) and biological non-reactivity, Cerapen will be perfect for constructing industrial buildings, freezing chambers, animal houses and aviaries and structures of medical use. The specific economic efficiency of the use of Cerapen can be expected in regions with severe climate (changes in temperature, high humidity, ever frost) or with limited transport accessibility.
