Light weight concrete can be produced with dry densities of 400 to 1600 kg/m3, with 28 days strengths of approximately 1 to 6 N/mm2 respectively. Light weight concrete is fire resistant and its thermal and acoustical insulation properties make it ideal for a wide range of purpose, from insulating floors and roofs.
Light weight concrete is used for:
Weight reduction of superstructure using LWC walls: less steel reinforcements required for slabs, columns, beams and foundation due to lesser load.
Earthquake resistant due to lesser weight of building built using LWC walls in multistory buildings
Reduced cost of raw materials by adding air, enclosed in LWC bubbles, the volume of concrete can be increased at very low cost.
Environmentally friendly and energy savings.
Cost reduction for transportation and storage less raw materials, very efficient foam concentrate.
Faster construction using cast in situ application.
Improved thermal insulation, LWC concrete can achieve the same insulation results as normal concrete with only 20% of the weight and 10%of raw materials.
Easy to use, produce and handle
