In this study, lightweight thermal insulation materials were successfully prepared in this study using a high-temperature micro-foaming method at 1200°C, where granite waste was the main raw material and SiC was the foaming agent. Further, the thermal insulation material’s macrostructure, microstructure, room temperature, and high-temperature performance have been investigated. This material has a small closed-cell porosity of up to 73.8%, high compressive strength of 18.2 MPa, low thermal conductivity of 0.22 W/(m•K) at room temperature and 0.17 W/(m•K) at 350°C, positive reheating linear change, and the refractoriness under load of 812°C, confirming that these materials can be used as good thermal insulation materials up to ~800°C.
