UltraTech Xtralite is a lightweight Aerated Autoclaved Concrete Block. It is suitable for multistoried structures as it is lighter than standard size bricks and blocks, The use of UltraTech XtraLite in construction reduces the dead load significantly and also ensures less usage of Steel and concrete. This product requires a lesser number of joints, which results in saving joining materials, time and labour, UltraTech XtraLite is manufactured through a reaction of aluminum on a proportionate blend of lime, cement, and fly ash. During this process, the hydrogen gas that escapes creates millions of tiny air cells, rendering UltraTech Xtrlite with a strong cellular structure. This is further strengthened by high-pressure steam curing in autoclaves. The product thus formed is not only lightweight but also has higher compressive strength.
UltraTech Xtralite also imparts thermal and sound insulation characteristics to constructions. At the same time, it also imparts fire and earthquake-resistant properties. These qualities make Ultatech XtrLite perfect for modern constructions and high-rise buildings. UltraTech Xtrlite provides an option for choosing between thicknesses ranging from 75 mm to 300 mm. Also, this product ensures a smooth and accurate masonry profile. UltraTech XtraLite is also useful for renovation and alteration purposes.
The automatic manufacturing process gives UltraTech XtraLite exceptional dimensional accuracy and a smooth surface, allowing less thickness of plaster.
Advantages of AAC Blocks
Lightweight
AAC density is less than one-third of that of normal concrete blocks, making it easily handled.
Thermal Comfort
AAC is excellent thermal insulation properties result in improved comfort level and saves heating and cooling costs.
Eco-friendly
AAC to help reduce at least 30% of environmental waste, decrease 50% of greenhouse radiation
Impact Resistant
Wall erected using 100 mm thick are to withstand impact loads potentially resulting from rough usage.
Faster Construction
Speed and ease of installation compared to traditional masonry construction
Sound Resistant
AAC blocks can provide very good sound insulation / sound absorption with an STC rating of 44.
Fire Resistant
More superior than traditional masonry for products with fire resistant up to 4 hours for a nominal block thickness of 100 mm.
Cost-effective
Speed and ease of installation result in cost savings compared to traditional masonry construction
Durable
Histories of usage dated more than 50 years protecting building and remain durable even under extreme weather conditions.
Dimensional Accuracy
Blocks using modern machineries resulting in products with tighter dimensional tolerances.
Save on Foundation Cost
Save up to 25% of Foundation Cost
Great savings in foundation and structural costs due to decrease in overall dead load. Due to light weight and low density, overall dead load reduces, thus saving structural steel consumption compared to conventional masonry.
Thermal Control
Thermal Control
Heat insulation 6 times superior than brick. Due to the numerous micropores in AAC, it has a very low thermal conductivity and makes an excellent thermal insulation material. It keeps interiors cooler in summer and warmer in winters.
