The Wonderful Building Material
Of The World
Manufactured in India since 1972, in collaboration with International
Siporex
AB of Sweden. The unique flexibility, structural and physical properties of
Siporex (ALC - "Aerated Light Weight Concrete) are appreciated the world
over and is the preferred building material. It is ideal for all types of
climatic and seismic zones |
|
Aerated Light Weight concrete is today recognized the world over as an
environment friendly product due to its superior
insulating and energy saving
properties. Increased use of Siporex helps to conserve and protect our planet's
forest cover.
Siporex is structural material, steam cured, cellular (aerated) concrete. It
is available as blocks, floor and
roof slabs and wall panels, for all types of
buildings Specially for multi-storeyed buildings
Roof and Floor Slabs
Available in lengths of 1 Mtr. to 5 Mtrs. in increments of 0.5 Mtr. and thickness from 100 mm to 200 mm, depending
upon super-imposed loads and spans
Building Blocks
Available Sizes :
200 x 240 x 600 mm
150 x 240 x 600 mm
125 x 240 x 600 mm
100 x 240 x 600 mm
Partition Walls
Panels available in lengths of 1.5 Mtr. to 3.0 Mtr. in increments of 0.5 Mtr.
and thickness from 75 mm to
100 mm
Properties of SIPOREX |
|
Light Weight : Oven dry density of SIPOREX is 450
to 650 kg/m³ i.e. just one fourth the weight of dense of dense concrete, thus ensuring
economic design. It also makes SIPOREX ideal for low bearing soils, for seismic
zones and for adding storeys to existing buildings. It is easy to handle, hoist
and transport. It is the ideal material for use in existing buildings where
additional FSI/TDR is available. |
|
Highly Insulating : Cuts the peaks of heat and
cold to provide economy in the working of air conditioning
and central heating.
K value 0.122 Kcal/ Hr/ M° C makes it suitable as insulation material for
boilers, heat
exchangers, furnaces, ovens, forges, steel works, galvanising kettle linings,
etc. saves 25% cost of
installations as well as recurring costs of electricity |

|
Fire resistant & incombustible : SIPOREX which is completely inorganic , is totally incombustible and offers twice
protection of concrete. It is ideal for fire walls and fire protection of
structural steel. SIPOREX has been tested for fire
resistance at CBRI, Roorkee.
Their conclusions are as follows
SIPOREX ROOF SLABS
The data of evolution and their analysis reveal that the roof of the Siporex roof
slabs was able to withstand
the standard fire for 150 minutes under uniform load
320 kg/m² as per IS:3809, BS: 476 part 20 and
ISO 834
SIPROEX WALL PANELS
The data of evaluation reveal that the partition wall of Siproex wall panels was
able to withstand the standard fire for
180 minutes as per IS: 3809, BS:476 Part
20 and ISO 834
SIPOREX LOAD BEARING BLOCKS
The data evaluation reveal that the wall of Siporex load bearing blocks was able
to withstand the standard fir 240
minutes under uniform compressive load 15
kg/m² as per IS:3809, BS:476 Part20 and ISO 834 |

High strength to weight ratio
For SIPROEX 18 to 22 against 16 for concrete of M 150 grade
Water Penetration
SIPOREX structure being of closed cells, there is less capillary action and
high surface activity allows for last evaporation of moisture.
Water Repellant
While manufacturing reinforced SIPOREX slabs, silicon oil is added in wet
mass which makes the product water repellant
Comfortably worked
SIPOREX is versatile. It can be drilled, chased or nailed using simple
carpentry tools. Thus, it simplifies plumbing,
electric work, fixing joinery,
etc. preventing wastages at site. SIPOREX is workable like wood and endures like
stone |
|
Sound Absorption
Sound absorbency of air borne sound for 3" and 4" walls is 38 to
40 db, thus absorbency of air borne sound for 8"
thick walls gives an
increase of 45 db. Hence, ideal for auditoriums and theatres and for cutting off
workshop sounds
from offices
Corrosion Resistant
Reinforcement bars used in SIPOREX slabs and wall panels re treated with a
patented, highly effective, anti- corrosive
treatment which has been evaluated
for CBRI, Roorkey, with recommendation that "Protective Coating" (two
coats of
ACM and one coat of inertol) applied by Siporex India Ltd. is highly
satisfactory for preventing corrosion of M.S.
reinforcement is Siporex concrete in coastal and highly polluted areas like Mumbai" Also, silicon oil is used
during
production to make the slabs water repellant
Environment Friendly
By indiscriminately cutting down our forests, natural disasters are rapidly
increasing. SIPOREX eliminates
use of timber
and thus helps to conserve our forests. SIPOREX also eliminates
the use of bricks which consume valuable fertile soil
required to grow food for
our vast population. |
