Executing the “Production Policy & Method” with patience and dedication resulted in producing building materials of higher compressive and tensile strengths where needed or lighter weight with better thermal/sound insulation when preferred.
For a healthier living and working environment & a stronger future, “Al-Bonyan” is confidently producing a very extraordinary line of building material products that are essential elements to Iraq’s construction industry.
ThermoLite Block :
In a market where thermal blocks/bricks increases the value of building properties by up to 30%, ThermoLite block is the product of choice. At a lower overall cost than both Brick (Taboog) and AAC block (Thermostone), ThermoLite is lighter & a better thermal insulator than both.
ThermoLite is a block made with a composite mixture of high quality non-decomposable lightweight aggregates, cement, additives, & sand. It is casted, strongly compacted, evenly vibrated into form, then, it is immediately transferred to protected, moisture injected, & closed curing chambers. The result is a cohesive, strong, rigid & lightweight block.
ThermoLite is an ultra lightweight concrete masonry block that is ideal for all types of exterior and interior walls and suitable for any physical operation such as cutting, nailing, transfixing or screwing, also ridge extending to make proper route for wire, pipe, etc.. it has the workability of normal block and does not have the limitations of other lightweight blocks. ThermoLite aggregates’ internal cellular structure of thousands of air filled cavities gives it much of its following exceptional physical characteristics & attributes:
1. Thermal Insulation: With ThermoLite’s low thermal conductivity, (approximatly 0.09 W/m.k. per 15cm thick block), it is much lower than AAC’s (Thermostone) thermal conductivity (0.16 W/m.k. per 20 cm thick block). Therefore, ThermoLite is a better thermal insulator than Thermostone (by up to 30%).
2. Sound Insulation: Ranging from 46 to 53 db, ThermoLite is a better sound insulator than Thermostone’s 37-42db.
3. Lightweight: At 11 to 12 kg/block of 15x50x20 cm (thickness x length x height), ThermoLite is Lighter than Thermostone, & one third the weight of standard concrete blocks.
4. Tensile strength: ThermoLite is rigid against sudden impact, resists damage caused by handling, transport, & environmental attacks. ThermoLite is stronger than the fragile Thermostone block.
5- Compressive strength: ThermoLite carries a compressive strength of 2-3.5 MPa., in accordance with American and European standards.
6. Fire Resistant: ThermoLite is Non combustible, fire reaction class A1 (no contribution to fire).
7. Water Absorption: Minimal absorption of moisture. Tested to absorb no more than 20% of its weight in 72 hours of submersion in water. ThermoLite is Less absorbent than Thermostone.
8. Surface Treatment: The low moisture absorption and large surface pores make ThermoLite block is suitable for plastering by both manual and mechanical means. It is more workable than Thermostone, and similar to standard concrete block.
Standard Concrete Block :
This product is widely known as one of the most practical, long-lasting and cost-effective material used in construction. Due to its strength, durability, and excellent fire rating, concrete blocks provide a sensible alternative to many other building materials. Al-Bonyan delivers this block in the needed compressive strength right at the lowest possible weight. This makes for a logical overall use of the material. Al-Bonyan does right by this block…..
Properties of the Block to consider are:
- Cost effective.
- High compressive strength
- Reasonable weight (around 20 kg for a 20x40x20 cm block).
- Easy and fast workability.
- No special mortar required.
- Water resistant.
- Fire resistant
Split Block :
Al-Bonyan Al-Jadeed pays attention to providing products with character and appeal as well as all the other good properties. This decorative exterior wall block adds curb appeal and value to any property. Satisfying customers and fulfilling their dreams is our goal…..
Apart from the cost, it has all the properties of a standard concrete block.
- High compressive strength
- Reasonable weight (around 20 kg for a 20x40x20 cm block).
- Easy and fast workability.
- No special mortar required.
- Water resistant.
- Fire resistant
Styro Thermal Block :
This is the block of choice when looking to combine compressive strength with Thermal/ sound insulation. 6 convincing reasons to use this block when considering energy construction:
- Very high insulation coefficient,u value = 0.41 W/m.k (more than 6 times better than normal Hollow Blocks, excellent thermal storage capacity. Cool in summer, warm in winter).
- Best sound barrier due to high mass
- High compressive strength
- Water resistant (μ = 150)
- Fire resistant
- Easy and fast workability. No special mortar required.
Pavers and Curb Stones :
Al-Bonyan’s Pavers & Curb Stones are highly economical with outstanding capability. A surface laid with these block takes up high loads & impact without any deformation being caused to the surfaces. This capacity of taking loads increases the durability of traffic surfaces laid with Concrete Pavers & Curb Stones. The Pavers come in different shapes with thickness of 6 cm, 8 cm and 10 cm and in an edged design according to the new European norm for paving blocks. Al Bonyan’s Curb Stone comes in 50cm and 100cm length. In addition to the visual aspect and compressive strength of Pavers and Curb stones, cleaning comfort, durability and general maintenance play an increasingly important role.
Future concrete oriented processing companies are forced to seek the technical answers to a host of technical parameters relating to the materials & additives to be used. In the past, processors of concrete had only traditional effective materials at their disposal. In addition, the confusing variety of concrete protection systems often made it very difficult for the processors to find the appropriate system for their purpose.
Al-Bonyan is working with a new system which opens up entirely new perspectives for manufacturing concrete paving stones optimized to resist environmental attack. Due to the nature of their use, concrete pavers & curb stones are permanently exposed to a whole variety of environmental influences and strains. Damage to concrete quite simply starts with water. It carries harmful substances in dissolved form into the capillary system of stone. Many of the reactions which take place due to these influences have a damaging effect and reduce durability. Therefore, if it is possible to protect the stone materials from absorbing water and watery solutions in their capillary systems, their durability can be increased significantly and the expense of maintenance considerably reduced. The function of moisture-proofing is thus to eliminate or reduce the capillary absorbency to such an extent that the paving stones remain unaffected by damaging media and to prevent or impede the concrete surface from becoming wet. Special targeted protective additives and chemicals developed by expert European Laboratories are added to the face mix layer of Al-Bonyan’s Pavers giving it a lifetime protection. With the installed Cutting edge production line/machinery, the Curing system, and the quality control system put in place, producing Paver & Curbstone with high compressive strength & durability comes as second nature at Al-Bonyan Al-Jadeed.
