installation and low maintenance.These are extremely light weight
materials having very good thermal insulation and are suitbale for
partitions, claddings and flush doors. Cost of this composite is
expected to be between Rs. 600 to700 per sq. m. for 2.5 cm thickness
depending upon the type of surfacing material used.

Plastic masonry paint
The
paint developed is easy to prepare and apply. It is free from odour.
It possesses excellent washability and scrub resistance and is specially
suitable for new surfaces because of its high alkali resistance
properties. It can also be satisfactorily applied on exterior surfaces
with a few other activities.
18.
Rapid setting lime plaster
The
lime plaster developed by the Institute starts setting in about
two hours and becomes fairly hard in about 24 hours and develops
adequate strength in 28 days. The plaster can be mixed with two
to three parts of sand before application. A single coat of this
plaster is sufficient and two coats are applied if better finish
is desired.

Sand lime brick
In
India much attention has not been paid to the manufacture of calcium
silicate bricks, popularly known as sand lime bricks, which can
be used as a building material in place of clay bricks. The walls
built of these bricks need no plastering.
The
machinery for making sand lime brick is available in the country.
For a plant capable of manufacturing three crore bricks per annum,
the cost of plant is Rs. 12 crores. Cost of manufacturing the bricks
works out to be Rs. 1,500 per 1,000.

Anti-corrosive treatment for steel reinforcement rods in
RCC
Anti-corrosive
treatment for steel reinforcement rods is used in (i) RCC buildings,(ii)
RCC bridges (Road and Railways), (iii) Repair works of deteriorated
structures. The CECRI system of anti-corrosion treatment essentially
consists of four steps: (i) Derusting of steel rods by dipping in
a derusting solution to obtain a bright surface, (ii) Phosphating
the surface by applying phosphating jelly to obtain a conversion
coating in about 45 to 60 minutes followed by a bush coating of
inhibitor solution, (iii) Application of two coats of inhibited
cement slurry by brushing at 12 to 24 hours interval, and (iv) Sealing
the cement coat against ingress of salts by brushing with a sealing
solution. The entire procedure may take about only 3 days and thus
a chloride free protective environment is provided around steel
bars.

Fly ash bricks
With
a view to finding a suitable avenue for disposal of fly ash as well
as as to meet the needs of the building industry, the Institute
has been able to produce sintered bricks, blocks, tiles, etc. The
total capital outlay for a plant production of 3 crores bricks per
annum will be about Rs. 12 crores.

Ceramic hollow blocks for low cost building
The
technology for production of hollow bricks using locally available
common clay and industrial waste has been developed. The bricks
can be produced using suitable dies. Unglazed and glazed hollow
bricks can be made and they have good potential in building industry.
Unit capable to proudce 8000 Nos. finished hollow blocks of size
100 mm x 150 mm x 225 mm per day will require a investment of Rs.
24.5 lakhs.
24.
Low cost glazed wall tiles
Low
cost glazed wall tiles with adequate crazing resistance and impact
strength have been developed. The technology is based on red clay
gangetic silt deposit of Palta and Howrah, with low maturing temperature
(950oC)
and offers a means for considerable saving in energy. These tiles
have good potentiality in the building industry, public toilets,
railways, etc.
25.
Single fired matt glazed ceramic tiles for flooring and facing
The
Institute has developed an appropriate technology for the manufacture
of single fired matt glazed ceramic tile which could be easily adopted
by small scale sector with their limited resources. The product
obtained by this process is as per IS: 2838-1964.
The
tiles may be used for flooring, interior and exterior decoration.
This can also find vast market in low cost housing for rural populations.
The
capital investment for a plant of capacity 810 MT finished goods
per annum is Rs. 35 lakhs.

Self-setting agent for sodium silicate sand process
The
use of sodium silicate as a binder for mould and core production
is well established carbon dioxide being used as a hardening agent
in the conventional process. The NML has developed a reagent which
when used with the sodium silicate sand mixture results in a self-setting
mix requiring no further treatment for preparation of moulds and
cores. The process is versatile and economical allowing considerable
scope for adjustment of bench life and setting time to suit individual
requirements. The knockout properties are superior to those of the
conventional process.

Fly ash for refractory products
The
laboratory has developed a process for the utilisation of fly ash
in refractory products. Bricks made using beneficiated fly ash ranging
upto 60% along with plastic fire-clay and grog in different proportions
finds suitability as fire-clay range of products and hot face insulation
bricks. With increase in fly ash percentage the brick attains properties
more of the insulating refractory wares, sacrificing its compressive
strength. Suggested economic unit for this industry is for the production
of 18,000 tonnes of mixed product per year.

Domestic water filter
candle
Water
filter candles are used for removing harmful bacteria and other
suspended impurities from drinking water. Filter candles, portable
filter flasks and instant cartridge water filters are prepared according
to the above process. Ion exchanger and bacteria inhibitor are used
in making these products. Capital outlay for 50 candles/day is Rs.

Light weight bricks
The
conventional clay bricks produced are used in the country as building
construction material. The light weight bricks made of clay coconut
pith mix can now also be conveniently used in building construction.

Ferrocement manhole cover
Ferrocement
manhole covers are produced using vibro pressing system for obtaining
optimum density by campaction. Thin wires at close spacing are used
to reinforce several layers of high strength mortar with steel meshes
and bars distributed through the thickness of the structure. The
manhole covers can be manufactured in the factory for expected loads
as high medium and heavy duty. They are 25 to
40% cheaper than cast iron covers now available in the market.

Precast ferrocement tanks, bins, septic tanks, biogas plant
digesters, walls for cylindrical guard rooms and kiosks etc.
It
is a simple semi-mechanised process for casting thin ferrocement
cylindrical units. This process does not require any sophisticated
equipment or power and suits well for the rural areas. The process
consists of a inner mould for the cylindrical units.

Fibre reinforced concrete manhole cover
FRC
manhole cover provide an alternative to the conventional cast iron
manhole covers used in water and sewerage mains. They are made from
steel reinforced cement concrete with the addition of high tensile
cut steel fibres in correct proportions. Fibre reinforced concrete
possess superior tensile, wear, impact and fatigue properties over
the cast iron
Detailed
investigations and field trials, have been carried out on the fibre
reinforced concrete over the past several years. The FRC covers
satisfy the requirements prescribed in the ISI code for manhole
covers. It is 60% of the cost of CI manhole covers.

Prestressed concrete
monoblock broad gauge sleepers
Prestressed
concrete sleeper is a highly sophisticated product and is different
from other prestressed concrete units, particularly in production
technology. The difference arises from the fact that mass manufacturing
methods have to be employed for these products. The process developed
at SERC is based on the long line method of prestressing. The estimated
demand of the railways for this product is about 10 to 15 lakhs
per annum. The fixed capital on plant and building for a plant of
50,000 sleepers capacity per annum is about Rs. 1.5 crores, working
capital requirement being about Rs. 1 crore. Production cost comes
out to be Rs. 1,000 per sleeper.
