About Us
Sahyadri Industries Limited, the flagship company of the Pune The company has state of the art manufacturing facilities and a
based Patel Group having diverse interests in the building material nationwide distribution network to service the needs of builders and
industry for the last three decades, manufacture and sell ‘Swastik’ customers monitored by highly professional and experienced teams
brand fiber cement sheets and accessories, ‘Cemply’ flat sheets to provide both manufacturing and marketing support
and ‘Entasafe Doors’, India’s First Anti-theft Door. These products
have been accepted well in different regions of the peninsula. To
meet the rising demands of the construction industry in India, the
company has introduced world’s one of the most accepted
product, the AAC blocks with the brand name ‘ECOLITE’ under its
associate banner,
ECOLITE, Autoclave Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks make an ECOLITE blocks consist of Quartz (Silica & PFA) which is the
excellent building material because of its outstanding thermal largest of the dry material involved. The Silica along with the cement
properties, superior fire resistance and excellent acoustical and lime mixture reacts with the aluminium to form the millions of
absorbing abilities. ECOLITE Blocks are lightweight, easy to work tiny air cells that give ECOLITE block its unique properties.
with, versatile in nature and extremely durable.
Savings due to Light Weight
ECOLITE blocks are ideal for the entire building structure and
possess high structural integrity. The Product’s light weight and
easy work ability means that it is very quick to install on site,
thereby saving in steel, cement, mortar and plastering costs.
Customers enjoy an additional carpet area, by using a 150 mm
block instead of 200 mm block without compromising on its
inherent qualities. The additional carpet area gained is more
than the cost of blocks.
Since ECOLITE blocks are uniform in size and shape and are
factory made, wastage during transportation, loading and
unloading are eliminated.
Fire Resistant
Most residential fires do not exceed 1200°C, ECOLITE blocks do
not begin to break down until well over 3000°C. This allows it to
maintain its structural integrity even after a fire. ECOLITE blocks
are totally inorganic and incombustible. The product is especially
suited for fire-rated applications.
Energy Efficient
Building material with high thermal mass hold their temperature for
a long period of time. Thermal inertia is a resistance to change in
temperature. ECOLITE blocks has both thermal mass and thermal
inertia causing it to maintain constant temperatures. In this test a
250 mm thick AAC wall was painted black with one side facing the
furnace heat, the temperature was monitored on the outside and
inside of the wall for 24 hours to examine the effects of thermal
mass and inertia. The results were a wide fluctuation of
temperatures outside, while the inside remained a comfortable
15.57°C and only fluctuated by plus or minus 2°C.
Weather & Earthquake Resistant
Long Lasting
The ancient Romans developed a highly sophisticated type of
concrete that has withstood the test of time for nearly two thousand
years. They used the volcanic ash pozzolan for its chemical
reactivity. The silica bases in today’s ECOLITE blocks closely
emulate their techniques.
Acoustically Absorbent
Once bricks are moulded & dried they go in for the elaborate firing
process. The firing process is inefficient and polluting. It then leads
to a high loss of energy, incomplete & unequal firing further result in
poor quality bricks and a high percentage of SPM ( Solid Particulate
Matter) which is released into the atmosphere and attributes to
environmental issues like Global Warming and Ozone Depletion.
Pest Resistant
With solid wall construction and finishes which bond to the wall
there are fewer cavities for insects or rodents to dwell in. Termites
and ants do not eat or nest in ECOLITE blocks.
Easy To Use
ECOLITE blocks can be cut and drilled easily with any ordinary
wood working tools. It actually cuts much faster than wood. It can be
sawn, drilled, nailed and machined using off the shelf tools.
Versatility
The use of ECOLITE blocks can reduce indoor air pollutants. ECOLITE blocks
are completely inert and does not emit toxic gases, even when exposed to fire.
