Clc Concrete Blocks By Ast Engineers Pvt. Ltd.

We are an eminent manufacturer of extensively appreciated and demanded CLC Blocks. These are gettable at market leading prices in a variety of sizes, shapes and provided demands. Due to their reliability, light weight nature, lower water absorption, highly thermal efficiency, etc. they are widely in demand. In addition to this, as per the needs of the esteemed clients, we develop these CLC Blocks within the provided time frame. It is feasible to produce this material in a wide range of controlled densities varying from 400 kg/m3 to 1,800 kg/m3. "AST Engineers" Generator ensure and accuracy of 5% in the target density. Diverse Applications of CLC: The lower density range of 400-600 kg/m3 is used as insulation over roofs or in cold storage or as filling in sunken areas of floors. The range of 800-1000 kg/m3 is good for making non load-bearing cladding panels or pre-cast blocks for nonstructural filler wall masonry. The density range of 1.200-1,800 kg/m3 (having 28-day cube crushing strength of 65 kg/cm2) is used in the form of structural elements-either as reinforced components or in the form of block-work for load bearing walling masonry. Lower Water AbsorptionAs a consequence of closed cellular structure of the material, the water absorption of CLC is lower, being in the range of 5% to 12%, depending on density. This is much better than the water absorption of over 45% exhibited by the factory made. Autoclaved Aerated Blocks or 18% to 23% permissible for the light-weight aggregate blocks as per I.S. 2185 (Part II)-1989. In view of better resistance to water penetration, it is not obligatory to pre-coat steel bars in reinforces elements, which is mandatory for the aerated autoclaved version. A higher concrete cover, than specified for normal reinforced concrete is, however, recommended. Other Advantages of CLC Light-weight with superior thermal and sound insulation : This CLC is much lighter in weight than ordinary bricks or dense concrete blocks. This can result in substantial savings in structural and foundation costs of high rise structures, if walling masonry of bricks/concrete hollow blocks is substituted with CLC block masonry or panels. CLC is also four to five times more efficient thermally. Ease of working with CLC : CLC blocks can be sawn like timber. Cutting chases for electric conduits or water lines is very easy. In fact it can be done very fast with the help of chase-cutting machine. One can easily drive nails into CLC, just as in timber.
