Porosil

POROSIL is a light weight insulating aggregate insulation which is to be mixed with cement. It protects the building from the intensity of direct solar heat and lowers the room temperature by a minimum 6-8 degree and makes the covered area very pleasant. This product brings you to a new, simplified and cost effective solution for keeping building permanently cool structures as per your satisfaction.

For slabs | Hollow Block Wall/Cavity Wall

For slabs:

POROSIL is to be mixed with cement in the proportion of 2 bags of POROSIL and 1 bag of cement requisite water is then to be added to the dry mixture.
Screeding is done to the desired thickness
The surface where it is to be applied should be free from dust particles, stones etc.
The mixture should be laid over the RCC slab in required thickness without applying external pressure.
Water curing is required twice a day in winters and thrice a day in summers for 4 to 6 days.
Waterproofing can be done over the POROSIL layers and more layers of IPS or tilling can be done

Layer thickness	U Value achieved in BTU/(Hr)(°)Ft)	Consumption per Sq.ft. in kg.	Approx. Reduction in Heat Transmission rate through RCC Slab in %
2” (50mm)	0.18	1.0	62
3” (75 mm)	0.14	1.5	70
4” (100 mm)	0.11	2.0	77
#Considering rate of heat transmission U value = 0.47 BTU/(Hr)(⁰F)(Ft) 2 for 4" (100 mm) thick RCC slab.

Minimum compressive strength	4 MPa per sq.mtr.
Maximum oven dry density	480 kg per cu.mtr.
K value	0.12 W/mK
R value	1.2 per inch thickness

For slabs | Hollow Block Wall/Cavity Wall

For Loose filling in Hollow Block Wall/Cavity Wall:

POROSIL to be poured from the bag into the cavity of concrete block wall directly.
Pours may be made at any convenient interval
The height of any pour shall not exceed 20 feet
Rodding or tamping is not necessary
After pouring into cores of cavity walls/hollow block construction it makes an uniform component, non-setting insulating barrier against the transmission of heat and sound

Cavity thickness	U Value achieved in BTU/(Hr)(^°F)Ft²)	Consumption per Sq .ft. in kg.	Approx. Reduction in Heat Transmission rate through Hollow Black wall in %
2” (50mm)	0.13	1.0	67.5
3” (75 mm)	0.10	1.5	75
4” (100 mm)	0.06	2.0	85
#Considering rate of heat transmission U value = 0.40 BTU/(Hr)(°F)(Ft²) for 9" thick hollow block wall.

For Loose Filling Suspended/False Ceiling

Layer thickness	U Value achieved in BTU/(Hr)(^°F)Ft²)	Consumption per Sq. ft. in kg.	Approx. Reduction in Heat Transmission rate through False/Suspended Ceiling in %
2” (50mm)	0.15	1.0	74
3” (75 mm)	0.11	1.5	81
4” (100 mm)	0.09	2.0	84
#Considering rate of heat transmission U value = 0.58 BTU/(Hr)(⁰F)(Ft²) for A. C. Roof sheet of Industrial Building.
