The Lightweight Cement Mixture

These are all the components that make up the Lightweight Cement Mixture. Different quantities allow for better thermal or acoustic performance as well as strength of the final mixture.

Cement

A Standard 32.5Mpa Cement found locally is suitable for the use in this product and can always be adjusted, but we do not recommend any strength of cement less than that of 32.5Mpa.

Sand

Good quality and clean builder’s sand is used to add density and compressive strength to lower floors.

EPS Beads

The EPS Beads used in the mixture are virgin beads (1–4mm) and this promotes insulation of the panel by creating an “air barrier” in the Panel which makes it energy efficient – less energy is needed to cool or warm JK Structure buildings.

Polypropylene Fibres

The 12mm fibers are added to the mixture to improve durability and reduce the possibility of surface cracking in the curing stage.

EPS Disbursement Admixture

This is added to the mixture as a coating for the EPS beads so that the lighter beads are dispersed throughout the mixture evenly. The admixture also aids in bonding all the materials together.

Water

Typical clean “Potable/Drinking” water is best, as recommended by cement manufacturers.
