About UsSahyadri Industries Limited, the flagship company of the Punebased Patel Group having diverse interests in the building materialindustry for the last three decades, manufacture and sell ‘Swastik’brand fiber cement sheets and accessories, ‘Cemply’ flat sheetsand ‘Entasafe Doors’, India’s First Anti-theft Door. These productshave been accepted well in different regions of the peninsula. Tomeet the rising demands of the construction industry in India, thecompany has introduced world’s one of the most acceptedproduct, the AAC blocks with the brand name ‘ECOLITE’ under itsassociate banner,

The company has state of the art manufacturing facilities and anationwide distribution network to service the needs of builders andcustomers monitored by highly professional and experienced teamsto provide both manufacturing and marketing support

ECOLITE, Autoclave Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks make anexcellent building material because of its outstanding thermalproperties, superior fire resistance and excellent acousticalabsorbing abilities. ECOLITE Blocks are lightweight, easy to workwith, versatile in nature and extremely durable.

ECOLITE blocks consist of Quartz (Silica & PFA) which is thelargest of the dry material involved. The Silica along with the cementand lime mixture reacts with the aluminium to form the millions oftiny air cells that give ECOLITE block its unique properties.



Savings due to Light Weight

ECOLITE blocks are ideal for the entire building structure andpossess high structural integrity. The Product’s light weight andeasy work ability means that it is very quick to install on site,thereby saving in steel, cement, mortar and plastering costs.Customers enjoy an additional carpet area, by using a 150 mm

block instead of 200 mm block without compromising on itsinherent qualities. The additional carpet area gained is morethan the cost of blocks.

Since ECOLITE blocks are uniform in size and shape and arefactory made, wastage during transportation, loading andunloading are eliminated.

Fire ResistantMost residential f ires do not exceed 1200°C,not begin to break down until well over 3000°C. This allows it tomaintain its structural integrity even after a fire. ECOLITE blocksare totally inorganic and incombustible. The product is especiallysuited for fire-rated applications.

The fire resistance of ECOLITE blocks has proven its outstandingfire ratings. A 100 mm AAC wall has a 4-hour rating. 1-hour per inchfire rating can be awarded to AAC. Underwriters Laboratories aswell as many other testing institutions have tested AAC for thesame.

ECOLITE blocks do

Energy Efficient

ECOLITE blocks provide superior thermal insulation by offering anarray of benefits such as thermal mass, thermal inertia, whole wallcoverage and low air infiltration. These combine and translate intoenergy savings which do not degrade and continue to appreciateover time. It has better thermal and sound insulation due to less joints. This results in saving energy costs of air-conditioning.

Building material with high thermal mass hold their temperature fora long period of time. Thermal inertia is a resistance to change intemperature. ECOLITE blocks has both thermal mass and thermalinertia causing it to maintain constant temperatures. In this test a

250 mm thick AAC wall was painted black with one side facing thefurnace heat, the temperature was monitored on the outside andinside of the wall for 24 hours to examine the effects of thermalmass and inertia. The results were a wide fluctuation oftemperatures outside, while the inside remained a comfortable15.57°C and only fluctuated by plus or minus 2°C.



Weather & Earthquake Resistant

The AAC house is a survivor of the 1995 earthquake in Kobe,Japan. In this earthquake 5,348 people were killed, 34,568 peoplewere injured and 106,763 buildings were damaged. Of the 5,578houses made from AAC none were completely or even partially

destroyed. 43 of them received some damage from neighbouringhouses falling against them. The earthquake started innumerablefires and at the same t ime damaged water supplies to over 800,000homes, a lethal combination. Not only did the AAC homes resist thefires, they actually helped to stop them from spreading in someareas by serving as a firebreak where several home were situatedclose enough to form a barrier.

Long Lasting

The ancient Romans developed a highly sophisticated type ofconcrete that has withstood the test of time for nearly two thousandyears. They used the volcanic ash pozzolan for its chemicalreactivity. The silica bases in today’s ECOLITE blocks closelyemulate their techniques.

ECOLITE blocks are not vulnerable to water damage as many otherbuilding products are. This means it will not rot or deteriorate overtime, thus giving you increased value for your investment. I t canwithstand harsh climatic conditions and will not degrade undernormal atmospheric conditions.

Acoustically Absorbent

ECOLITE blocks provide excellent sound absorption with an STC(Sound Transmission Class) rating of 44, because of its tiny air cellstructure, it provides superior sound insulation, hence these blocksare preferred in construction of flat systems, hotels, IT offices,recording studios, multiplexes, etc.



Environmentally Sound

ECOLITE blocks provide excellent thermal insulation and reducesenergy consumption. It serves as insulating structure and fireprotection barrier, thereby eliminating the need for different layersof materials and their accompanied energy consumption and

wastes. The work ability of ECOLITE blocks help to eliminate wasteon the job site.

It is manufactured with abundant recycled raw materials andproduces no waste products or pollution. Its manufacturing requireslittle energy as compared to other materials. The use of ECOLITEblocks avoid usage of topsoil. Traditional blocks are made ofprecious topsoil. It is a vital reserve that takes thousands of yearsto form and ensures sustainable food supply for the future. With theboom in construction industry, farmers especially in the vicinity ofthe cities find it very lucrative to sell the topsoil to the brickmanufacturers than utilizing it for growing crops. As a resultfarmlands that were once fertile have become wastelands.

Once bricks are moulded & dried they go in for the elaborate firingprocess. The firing process is inefficient and polluting. It then leadsto a high loss of energy, incomplete & unequal firing further result in

poor quality bricks and a high percentage of SPM ( Solid ParticulateMatter) which is released into the atmosphere and attributes toenvironmental issues like Global Warming and Ozone Depletion.

Since ECOLITE blocks consist of approximately 80% air, thefinished product is up to 5 times the volume of the raw materialsused, making it even more resource efficient

Pest ResistantWith solid wall construction and finishes which bond to the wallthere are fewer cavities for insects or rodents to dwell in. Termitesand ants do not eat or nest in ECOLITE blocks.

Easy To UseECOLITE blocks can be cut and drilled easily with any ordinarywood working tools. It actually cuts much faster than wood. It can besawn, drilled, nailed and machined using off the shelf tools.

Versatility

Almost any design can be achieved by usingcan also be sculpted well. ECOLITE blocks and panels can be used

for all applications including walls, roofs, floors and balconies, inboth load-bearing and non-load-bearing applications.
