Here’s a way to build a sustainable tomorrow

that encourages the environmental pursuits,
and while doing so does not deviate itself from
presenting you cost-efficiency and enhancing a
healthy social image.
Presenting to you ‘ECOLITE’.

Gain from it.

ECOLITE Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks
are brought to you by JVS Comatsco Industries Pvt
Ltd. Made from environmentally-friendly raw
materials; Ecolite is an ideal building material for use
in today’s times.

Ecolite AAC blocks are made using Portland cement

which is mixed with quartz (silica/PFA), water and an
aeration agent, poured into a mould. The reaction
between aeration agent and concrete causes
millions of microscopic bubbles to form, expanding
the concrete. That gives the blocks its unique
properties. These blocks are then cut to size and
formed by steam-curing in a pressurized chamber
(autoclave). The result is a non-organic, non-toxic,
airtight material that can be used for walling.
Sustainable construction
There are many definitions to ‘Sustainable Construction’. To our
mind, it means reducing your construction’s impact on the
environment as much as possible, while maintaining economy,
comfort and durability.

ECOLITE Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks

A Sustainable Alternative

AAC Blocks - A legacy

Builders in India can use the ‘innovative material’ that
Scandinavians have built their homes with for decades.
Although, a popular building material in Europe for over 75
years, in India it has been introduced in the past two decades.
It is an economical, sustainable, solid block that provides
thermal & acoustic insulation as well as fire and termite
resistance. AAC is available in a variety of forms, ranging from
wall and roof panels to blocks and lintels.

AAC Blocks - A Green Building Component

Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) block is well known as
an environmentally friendly construction material. The
energy consumed in the production process is only a
fraction compared to the production of other materials. The
manufacturing process emits no pollutants and creates no
by-products or toxic waste products.
AAC blocks are manufactured from common and abundant
natural raw materials. The finished product is twice the
volume of the raw materials used, making it extremely
resource-efficient and environmentally friendly.

Gains that can

change your life forever.
 Gain from it.

Ecolite blocks can be made available in

numerous shapes and sizes.

Ecolite blocks only look porous. Being a cellular

structure, it actually blocks the capillary action,
so water does not percolate unlike traditional
bricks. Ecolite block features include structural
capacity, thermal, fire, and acoustical resistance
properties. These blocks significantly
outperform traditional bricks, fly ash bricks,
conventional concrete blocks or poured
concrete. Consistency in quality and colour can
be obtained in Ecolite blocks. Ecolite layered
exterior walls can be covered with a single
exterior plaster cladding - enough to fight the
exposure to physical damage, dirt and water. If
installed in high humidity environments,
interior finishes with low vapour permeability,
and exterior finishes with a high permeability
are recommended.

As a result of the thermal mass, Ecolite block’s

ability to store and release energy over time
can be beneficial in climates where outdoor
temperature fluctuates over a 24-hour period
from above to below the indoor temperature
conditioned air set point.

Encouraging the environmental

pursuits – Carbon footprint

The increasing carbon foot print on the

environment is a growing concern.

The carbon foot prints of Ecolite AAC blocks

are considerably less compared to traditional
walling materials (per sq ft carbon levels: AAC
blocks 2.13 kg of CO2, clay bricks 17.6 kg of CO2,
concrete walls 14 kg of CO2). Aiding further,
the light weight of Ecolite AAC blocks reduces
the carbon emission as more cubic meter can be
transported per truck load as compared to
traditional walling material (3 trucks traditional
material in cu m equates 1 truck AAC blocks
in cu m).

Comparative analysis vis-à-vis traditional clay bricks

When compared with AAC blocks, the following facts emerge:

CLAY BRICKS AAC BLOCKS

Environmental Impact

One clay brick consumes 3.2 kgs of top soil No top soil consumed

One sq ft of carpet area with clay brick walling will Uses fly ash which is a thermal power plant waste
consume 25.5 kgs of top soil product & thus no consumption of top soil

One sq ft of carpet area with clay bricks will One sq ft of carpet area with AAC blocks will
consume 8 kgs of coal consume 0.9677 kgs of coal

One sq ft of carpet area will emit 17.6 kgs of CO2 One sq ft of carpet area will emit 2.13 kgs of CO2

Due to high density, transportation cost per cu m Least cost of transportation, since AAC blocks are
/km is very high 1/3rd weight of clay bricks

Social Impact

Improve your construction economy
We stand behind every Ecolite block we sell. That applies
to how every block ‘layer by layer’ performs virtually on
your construction site to help improve your construction
economics.

• Enjoy bigger carpet area by using a

150 mm block instead of 200 mm block

• 1 : 9 ratio - Less expensive compared

to traditional brick work as ‘one block’
required for every ‘nine bricks’

• Plaster savings with less material

required for external cladding

• Mortar saving since less quantity of

mortar consumed

• Steel saving, as less steel utilization

with beam depth 450mm vis-à-vis 650
mm with traditional material

• Lower labour employment costs as

lesser manpower required

• Minimal wastage in transit, due to

even sizes they are stacked uniformly
