Building Construction Material

1. Different types of building construction material The material which is used in the construction of the building is called building construction material. The quality of construction material plays a key role in maintaining building’s durability and long-life. High-quality construction material ensures the safety of the building and improves its resistance to extreme climatic changes. Apart from naturally occurring building construction material, there are different man-made products which are also used for construction purposes. Have a look- FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastics) FRP is a perfect choice of material used in the construction of piping systems, chemical storage tanks, equipment, and other different types of industrial apparatus. The FRP material is highly preferred than any conventional materials like steel. FRP material is chemical and corrosion resistant. It requires less maintenance and has a long product life. Basically, FRP (Fibreglass Reinforced Plastics) material consists of fiberglass and thermosetting resins which are used to prepare the key ingredient of FRP products. The resin boosts the environmental and chemical resistance of the FRP product and acts as a binder in the glass fiber used in the structural laminate. A resin type is selected depending upon the environmental and chemical circumstances provided by the clients. Each kind of laminate has its particular function, thereby a different kind of resin is selected for each laminate for making a product. Furthermore, different types of glass are selected depending on the application and process the end product will be used for. Selecting the right FRP manufacturer is important with regard to combining these ingredients and selecting the right resins, right winding methods, and glass fiber elements to ensure the quality and the advantages of the materials. GRC (GlassFibre Reinforced Concrete) It is also called as GRC and GFRC, a cement-based composite product strengthened with alkali-resistant fibers. GFRC can be produced into thin portioned lightweight materials. It offers engineers, designers, and architects with considerable advantages than other traditional concrete materials. GFRC is popularly used to fabricate a huge range of molded products for the construction and civil engineering sectors. The fibres add tensile, flexural, and impact strength and the final material enables the production of robust, yet lightweight, products highly used in civil engineering, architectural, and many other industrial applications. The properties of GRC (Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete) differ based on the production technique, mix design, and the kind and material of the Alkali Resistant Glass Fiber. PUF Panel It is suitable for constructing roof and wall insulation, cold or chilled pipelines, Horton sphere insulation and equipment insulation. PUF Panel materials are highly appropriate for a temperature range of -200°C to +110°C. PIR Slabs and Pipe Sections are apt for use between -200°C to +145°C. These are extracted by making the use of high quality insulated panels made from polyurethane foam which are manufactured from a raw material such as galvanized sheets and steel for the target of facing. PUF sheets are prepared using cutting edge technology and applied to different areas. It has low thermal conductivity (0.021 w/mk at 10°C).
