Products made of gypsum binders have heat and sound insulation properties, fire resistance, high technical, economic and environmental indicators, which are used in construction in the construction of internal walls and partitions, the total area of which, as a rule, is several times larger than the area of external walls. By reducing the density of gypsum products due to the introduction of light aggregates, it is possible to reduce the mass of walls, lighten the building, reduce the load on foundations and reduce the cost of construction, while improving thermal protection. However, traditional lightweight fillers increase the water demand of the mixture and reduce the strength of the material. Therefore, in the article, the purpose of the study was to determine the optimal composition of gypsum compositions with various types of filler to obtain the best set of properties of the obtained samples.
