=================================================
Residential Complex with Siporex Slabs & Blocks, Mumbai
Manufactured in India since 1972, in collaboration with internationella 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 thus energy saving
properties. Increased use of Siporex helps to conserve and protect our planet’s
precious forest cover.
THE WONDER BUILDING MATERIAL OF THE WORLD
“Not just better housing… but, better living with
SIPOREX, eco friendly, wonder building material of modern age.”

“The superior properties
of SIPOREX make it
eminently suitable for all
climatic and seismic
zones.”

48 Countries world-wide prefer SIPOREX products for their buildings.
COMPONENTS OF THE SIPOREX BUILDING SYSTEM
Roof and Floor slabs Building Blocks Partition walls
The different products – Floor, Wall, Roof Slabs and Building Blocks – form between
them an open building system that can constitute the whole structure of a low rise
building up to two storeys. It is a system that also incorporates in other buildings, halls
or industrial buildings.

“SIPOREX is structural material, steam cured, cellular (aerated)
concrete. It is available as blocks, floors and roof slabs and wall panels,
for all types of buildings, especially for multi-storied buildings.”
PROPERTIES OF SIPOREX
• LIGHT WEIGHT
Oven dry density of SIPOREX is 400 to 650 Kg/m3, i.e. just one fourth the weight of
dense concrete, thus ensuring economic design. It also makes SIPOREX ideal for
low bearing soils, for seismic zones and for adding storey 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 Thermal
conductivity Test
Cuts the peaks of heat and cold to provide
economy in the working of air-conditioning.
K value 0.122 Kcal/Hr/M 0C makes it suitable as
insulation material for boilers, heat exchangers,
furnaces, ovens, forges, steel works,
galvanizing kettle linings, etc. Saves about
25% cost of installation as well recurring costs
of electricity.
• FIRE RESISTANT & INCOMBUSTIBLE
SIPOREX, is completely inorganic, is totally incombustible and offers twice the fire
protection of concrete. It is ideal for fire walls and for 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 evaluation 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 of 320 kg/M2 as per IS:3809, BS:476 Part 20 and ISO 834.
SIPOREX WALL PANELS
The data of evaluation reveal that the partitions wall of Siporex 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 date of evaluation reveal that the wall of Siporex load bearing Blocks was
able to withstand the standard fire for 240 minutes under uniform compressive
load of 15 kg/m2 as per IS:3809, BS:476 Part 20 and ISO 834.
• HIGH STRENGTH TO WEIGHT RATIO
For Siporex 18 to 22 against 16 for M15 grade concrete.
• LESS WATER PENETRATION Red Brick Siporex Block
Siporex structure being closed cells, there is less
capillary action. Moreover, high surface area allows
for fast evaporation of moisture.
• WATER REPELLENT
While manufacturing reinforced Siporex Slabs & Wall
Panels silicon oil is added in wet mass which makes
the product water repellent
• SOUND ABSORPTION
Sound absorbency of air borne sound for 3” & 4” walls is 38 to 40 db, hence, it is
ideal for auditoriums and theaters and for cutting off workshop sounds from
offices.
• COMFORTABLY WORKED
Siporex is versatile. It can be drilled, chiseled or
nailed using simple carpentry tools. Thus, it
simplifies plumbing, electric work, fixing, joining
etc. Siporex is workable like wood and endures like
stone.
• ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY
Siporex eliminates use of timber as centering and shuttering is absolutely not
required for placing the Siporex slabs. Thus Siporex helps to save the forests. Also
it eliminates the use of bricks which consumes valuable fertile soil required to
grow food for our vast population.
• CORROSION RESISTANT
Reinforced bars used in SIPOREX Slabs and Wall Panel are treated with a
patented, highly effective, anti-corrosive treatment which has been evaluated by
CBRI, Roorkee with recommendation that “Protective Coating (two coats of ACM &
one coat of Inertol) applied by Siporex India P Ltd, is highly satisfactory for
preventing corrosion of M S reinforcement in Siporex concrete in costal and highly
polluted areas like Mumbai.” Also, Silicon oil is used during production to make
the product water repellent
• ISI MARK & NORMS
Being a factory made, quality of Siporex products is assured. Siporex products
have BIS norms and markings. Siporex slabs are conforming to IS 6073 and
Siporex blocks are conforming to IS 2185 (Part 3).
