Abstract

An analysis of literature and patent data on the problem of producing and using wollastonite and wollastonite-based materials is carried out; the results of studying the properties of heat-insulating articles produced by the vacuum pumping technology are summarized. The theoretical possibility of using natural wollastonite as a material for the production of heat-insulating articles is demonstrated.
