Cellular light weight concrete, also known as foamed concrete, foam Crete, Foam concrete or reduced density concrete, is defined as cement based slurry. It is a light weight, water resistant, fire- proof, sound proof and environment friendly.
The main feature of this block is light in weight. Cellular Lightweight Concrete blocks are made of fly ash, cement, and foaming agent. These can be extensively used in all building constructional activities similar to that of common burnt clay blocks.
Advantages of CLC Blocks
CLC is lightweight, highly fire resistant, has excellent thermal insulation value, is decay and rot proof, has good sound reduction properties and is cost effective. CLC performs well in seismic situations and high wind areas. Building with CLC can reduce the quantity of materials used and labor needed to build a building.
- Low thermal conductivity.
