Described are dry cast lightweight veneer blocks and a system and method of installing lightweight veneer blocks. The courses can be assembled without mortar between the courses. As an example, sides of the veneer blocks have areas that recede from an imaginary plane between adjacent veneer blocks to give a deep texturing and a shadow effect between veneer blocks. The installation system and method include a substrate, an air barrier applied to the substrate, a plurality of veneer blocks, and an adhesive applied between the plurality of veneer blocks and the air barrier.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a low density inorganic powder insulator having a low density molded structure using expanded perlite without a binder and a mold machine for manufacturing the same, and more particularly, to a technology of uniformly dispersing perlite particles having a shape of irregular fragments of glass using expanded perlite to form a framework among synthetic silica to improve molding strength even at a low density, thereby reducing thermal conductivity (conduction and convection blocking) due to a low density and an increase in a specific surface area. Further, the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a low density inorganic powder insulator having a molded structure using economical expanded perlite having excellent physical properties by compression-molding a clad sheet material using a mold machine having a porous plate and a filter so as to remove pressure and air, which are generated during compression due to the use of the clad sheet material having low specific gravity and a large specific surface area, from a molded product or manufacturing the clad sheet material into a compressed clad sheet using a compression roller, and a mold machine for manufacturing the same.

An article made of conglomerate material comprising an aggregate comprising granules of expanded glass or expanded ceramic/clay defining between them inter-granular cavities and a binding resin. The binding resin is present in the minimum amount required to coat the granules of expanded glass or expanded ceramic/clay and the inter-granular cavities contain only air and are devoid of filling material. The binding resin is present in an amount equal to about 6-16% of the volume of the article and is a thermosetting resin obtained by means of reaction between an epoxidized unsaturated fatty acid triglyceride and a carboxylic anhydride in the presence of a catalyst.
