Vermix® Lightweight Concrete

       

Description
Vermix consists of Portland cement and vermiculite. It enhances versatility in design, high performance as well as reasonable cost for architects, engineers and contractors. It not only possesses all the qualities of a good insulating material, but also has other characteristics which give the material ability to diversify; as a furnace insulation, tropical housing and refrigeration, external weather proofing and internal plastering.

Available in 2 grades:

• LC 500 - for concrete flat slab, low pitched and roofs, constructed of woodwool slabs, hollow tile / precast concrete beams  
• LC 800 - laid over a wide range of sub-bases to provide an insulated & resilient floor 

Vermix consist of minute air cells to which they own their lightness, and excellent insulating value at temperature ranging from below 0°C to 1000°C. In addition, it is non-combustible and chemically inert. There qualities equipped Vermix for the wide range of application. It is produced in a factory-controlled ensuring consistency and a guaranteed mix design that would eventually produce the specified density and K Value.
Compared to structural grade concrete, Vermix concrete is only 15% of its weight. 25mm of Vermix concrete is equal in insulating value to 500mm or regular concrete. It is widely used on all kinds of flats and low-pitched roofs. They can be readily laid to suit each individual job. It is recommended that the minimum thickness of the screed should be 50mm.
