Insucrete Concrete Aggregate from Perl Tech

Mr. Gautam Patel, proprietor, Perl-Tech tells Built Expressions that Insucrete Concrete Aggregate meets the modern construction requirements of sustainability and precast technology

Ahmadabad-based Perl Tech is a perlite base solution provider by mix design for light weight insulation concrete. It also manufactures and supplies Lightweight Concrete Aggregate and Insucrete Concrete Aggregate that includes Perlite Plaster, Expanded Perlite Concrete and Horticulture Expanded Perlite. Insucrete Concrete Aggregate has loose bulk density of 140-160 kg/cum, which is almost ten times lighter in weight than normal concrete, Insucrete now is the demand of green building application saving energy.

All architects and structural Engineers have taken best advantage in exploring above property for various applications such as roof insulation, interior Plastering, Penthouse insulation, corrugated sheet insulation, shrunk filling  and to reduce dead load specially cantilever structure. Insucrete is well maintained combination of perlite, vermiculite both are well accepted worldwide construction grade for Light weight Insulating aggregate, added with Amorphous Silica and fibre reinforcement Applicable for any roof surface.

Application Method: With cement 1:4 and 1:5 ratios, for more economical application, we have ready mix Concrete solution for roof, Terrace, cantilever structure, loose fill and complete replacement of Brickbat- coba with chemical treatment of top surface even inbuilt Water proofing can also be incorporated.

 Application:

• Terrace Insulation
• Shrunk Filling
• Loose Fill Insulation Between Walls

 Allied Use:

• Tin Roof Insulation
• Cantilever structure Insulation

Insucrete Concrete Aggregate helps reducing load to a greater extent, for instance, trench fillers, hollow wall filler, terrace garden and inverted beams. The insulation property of the product adds sustainable value to the building by reducing the heat load for HVAC.

Advantages of Insucrete Concrete Aggregate:

• Light Weight: weight from 10 to 20kg per cubic foot….reduced dead load offers structural savings.
• Insulation: 20 time more insulating then structural concrete.
• Durable: cannot rot or decay, vermin and termite resistant not structurally damaged by water.
• Adaptable: can be placed monolithically on flat, uneven curved or sloping surfaces.
• Superior Base For Roofing: rigidity and firmness provides an excellent base for roofing and lowest drying shrinkage compared to other insulating concretes
• Strength: tested wind uplift and seismic resistances

In India, Architects are now concerned with Green Building and precast technology- “it is up to Structural  Engineers and designers who have delivered the astonishing stadiums, Game Villages and unique public buildings with Imagination of exploring Material and Technology application”..India is not far behind.
