What is CLC?
CLC is conventional concrete, where natural gravel is replaced by air embedded in an organic, stiff/stable and
bio-degradable foam which causes no chemical reaction but solely serves as a wrapping material for the air
embedded in the concrete.
NEOPOR Cellular Lightweight Concrete (CLC) is being applied successfully for more than 40 years,
constructing more than 700,000 buildings, using it in densities below 350 kg/m for sheer thermal insulation
or void fillings and in density of 800 kg/m for blocks and for structural, steel/fiber reinforced CLC to produce
prefab and cast in - situ of one floor buildings at the rate of one building each day with every set of vertical
formwork, which is also supplied by NEOPOR , including doors and windows ( or voids therefore) cast in the
same as empty pipes and tubes for power and sanitary installations in over 50 different countries. Many
public and private buildings, even an increasing number of complete towns are being constructed completely
using CLC.
NEOPOR CLC had been successfully applied already since more than 30 years ago in Iraq, when a leading
German construction company built (16) agricultural schools with dormitories in Baghdad, produced in a local
operating prefab plant (brochure available), as well as by our company, LeycoChem LEYDE Iraq, which was
selected as NEOPOR Sole Representative in Iraq.
NEOPOR CLC is the only air-cured cellular concrete system worldwide that has an approval to produce
structural steel-/fiber reinforced applications/ products . Such approvals are under GB Standards,
German/EU-Norms and ICC/IAPMO (US) Standards.

How to produce CLC


Except for the NEOPOR foam processor to produce and dose the foam by exact volume, and for the
necessary foaming agent, CLC is produced like regular concrete- which in fact, it is by identical raw materials
used, namely, sand, cement and water.
CLC also hardens like regular concrete increasing its strength infinitely as long as exposed to humidity in the
atmosphere. It hardens by hydration as regular concrete and can be accelerated by either high early strength
cement, using warm water in the mix , by applying steam, or by using an additive which has to be tested on
its compatibility with the foam.
CLC is readily integrated into existing prefab and concrete works - even produced in truck mixers by installing
NEOPOR fully automatic foam processor in less than an hour. Although CLC does not require vibration - at
least not to increase the density of the mix which is liquid anyhow- vibration of horizontally produced panels
will show an even better surface, drawing the cement slurry to the mold side.
Vibration of vertical walls is possible when pumping CLC through the bottom of the mold to the top in
accordance with NEOPORs newly developed technology

Benefits of NEOPOR CLC The Genuine GREEN System


As the world leader in Cellular Lightweight Concrete (CLC), NEOPOR System offers the construction of
maximum houses by least skilled labor in the shortest period of time with maximum benefits to the later
tenants and yet at minimum cost compared to regular concrete, such as:

Optimum thermal insulation (From 500 % to 700 % over conventional concrete) *

Substantial weight reduction (dead-load)

Highly increased fire rating

Maximum sound absorption ( no echoes in empty rooms and halls)

Fastest progress in construction

Saving in raw material (no gravel required)

Savings in steel reinforcement in high rise

Savings in transportation (double payload by volume)

Savings in craning (less re-location, larger panels )

* In hot countries such as Iraq, Thermal Insulation is a MUST. Walls and roofs should be insulated to
avoid huge energy waste and at the same time to live in a comfortable cool/warm climate.

Equipment and Foaming Agent required

NEOPOR Fully Automatic Foam Processor

Plug & Play Unit (Optional)

NEOPOR Foaming Agent: NEOPOR 600

Conventional mixer or truck mixers & Pumps

Molds
Foam Generator with Plug & Play Unit

The Plug & Play Unit: A newly launched kit to the CLC production system. By using the Plug & Play unit,
customers do not have to adjust the foam output and weight anymore as it is set from the factory. It has
a control unit where output is shown either in seconds or in litres .
NEOPOR Foaming Agent: CLC is an organic and bio-degradable material which has no chemical reaction
but serves solely as wrapping material for the air to be en-capsuled in the concrete. One kilogram of
NEOPOR foam agent diluted in 40 litres of potable water is sufficient to produce 520 litres of foam.
Important Note: Two different types of foaming agent are generally used to produce cellular lightweight
concrete: 1) Organic,
2) Synthetic
1) Organic Foam : NEOPOR foaming agent is an organic material and as such bio-degradable. It is delivered
in sealed drums and must not be stored in temperatures above 30C, nor exposed to direct sun. Foaming
agent must not be brought into contact with any other product and certainly not with oil, which is known to
influence the surface tension of the water and thus to the foam to be produced. Any containers, pumps,
funnels used, must therefore be absolute chemically clean. Protein-based NEOPOR foaming agent is
completely harmless, non-toxic and non-flammable. (Technical Data Sheet & Test Certificate are available on
request).
2) Synthetic Foam : There is a large number of synthetic foaming agents also used to produce cellular
concrete. None of these however, can match protein based foaming agents in stability. No synthetic foam is
known to be used to produce structural (steel-reinforced) cellular concrete. The mechanical and physical
properties of such cellular concrete are not sufficient to allow maximum ratios of density over strength.
To offer additional stability however, stabilizers, such as chloride are added; a chemical that is harmful to
steel embedded in the concrete and therefore it is not allowed to be used in reinforced concrete.

Modern Construction Products for Economical, Healthy and Energy Saving Buildings

Foaming Processor (Generator) : Any foaming agent requires a proper mechanical device to be foamed
correctly. For NEOPOR foaming agent, the equipment has been specially designed to suit the specification of
this foam agent which if foamed in other generators, the stability will not offer the same consistency.
NEOPOR Fully Automatic Foam Equipment allows the consistency (stiffness) of the foam to be set, suiting
each application.
The Equipment consists of:
A) Foam Processor
B) Plug & Play unit with a Siemens control system
The Foam Processor is an independent equipment and therefore, it can be used independently , if required,
and in this case, it can be easily removed from the Plug & Play unit.
The complete unit has the following features:

Air compressor with capacity of 850 litre input and 600 litre output per minute and water pump with
capacity of more than 80 litre/min.

Output minimum 10 litres/sec at 80 grams/litre

Rinsing button for cleaning of foam processor

Output can be seen either in seconds or in litres

Unit checks automatically whether electricity circuit is correct and will show it on the display

Plug & Play Unit cuts off automatically in case any material is missing and will record the amount of foam
that is needed to complete mix with the rest of foam needed.

CLC and Thermostone Blocks


There is a substantial difference between the AAC (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) - also known as
(Thermostone) - and the CLC (Cellular Lightweight Concrete). To avoid any possible confusion, we would like
to highlight the major differences between both products for the benefit of our valued customers:
AAC -Autoclaved Aerated Concrete is cellular concrete where the air-bubbles embedded are caused by a
chemical reaction, namely when aluminum powder or aluminum paste expands like bread, when adding
yeast to dough to expand it in its process of producing bread. Please note the following additional information
about AAC :

Special sand (above 95% SiO2 content) has to be grinded to micro size while used to produce AAC.

In AAC production, the degree of expansion cannot be precisely controlled and therefore expands
beyond the mold used, therefore, AAC has to be cut to the required dimensions.

Relatively, large bubbles allow only lower densities up to maximum 800 kg/m3 to be produced. As the
bubbles between the matrixes are connected with each other, the consequence being, that water has
easy access to the concrete produced, which has to be thoroughly protected against the latter by an
extensive protection plaster.

To lend AAC sufficient strength, it has to be autoclaved in a pressure-vessel. Unfortunately this


treatment completely destroys the ongoing hydration process of the cement used.

AAC must also be thoroughly protected against humidity.

Low density and the crumbly composition make it necessary to use screw plugs when fixing nails or
screws into AAC concrete.

Sound insulation therefore is not as successful when compared to air-cured cellular lightweight
concrete (CLC) of identical density.

The entire process of producing AAC is different from CLC and calls for sophisticated plant and
equipment, with an admittedly high output of perhaps 300 or more cubic meter each day. Due to the
above described, it is not possible to produce AAC on site, nor to produce prefab panels of desired
shape and size. A high skilled team of experts are essential to operate such a plant and produce the
product.

Steel-reinforcement used has to be thoroughly protected against corrosion.

CLC Cellular Lightweight Concrete is conventional concrete, where coarse aggregate (gravel) is replaced by
air, which we embed in NEOPOR very stable organic foam that causes no chemical reaction, but solely serves
as wrapping medium for the air to be embedded. Authentic plant and equipment is used to produce CLC,
therefore the production is easily integrated into existing concrete and prefab plants for conventional
concrete.

Modern Construction Products for Economical, Healthy and Energy Saving Buildings

Only sand, cement and water are used with NEOPOR highly stable foam, to produce air-cured cellular
concrete in densities ranging from as low as 350 to as much as 1800 kg/m3 and strengths achievable from
as low as 1.5 to more than 30 N/mm2. Washed river sand, if available, up to 2, 4, 6 and 8 mm is
recommended depending on the density desired. Portland cement offers optimum performance but most
other types of cement are also suitable. As the density can be precisely re-produced, any size and shape
of prefab can be produced. Above densities of 1200 kg /m3 (half the weight of conventional concrete) for
structural steel reinforced application, the bubbles produced are completely separated from each other,
therefore, water absorption is much less and thus, steel does not need to be protected against corrosion,
which also means, that the concrete in densities of 1200 kg/m and above, does not require any plaster,
as in the case of AAC, but painting the surface is sufficient. Water absorption is substantially lower than
in AAC and favorably compares to conventional concrete.
As in conventional concrete, CLC increases strength practically infinitely as long as it is exposed to the
humidity of the atmosphere. Although not as much as in AAC, CLC nevertheless, offers substantial weight
reduction compared to conventional concrete and 500% higher thermal insulation and also has a much
better fire-rating.
Nails and screws can be easily driven into CLC and hold without the use of dowels. Due to the absence of
gravel however, CLC may also be cut or sawed. For the same reason, it offers high consistency to the
concrete; therefore, no vibration is required. This allows complete houses to be cast in one pour.
There is no other type of concrete, dense or lightweight, that offers that much scope of application
ranging from roof-insulation in the lowest possible density of 350 kg/m3 up to the production of columns
and slabs in density 1800 kg/m3. Floor-screeds, blocks, partitions and void-fills are some of the many
applications as mentioned above. Using vertical molds for houses for instance, allows one complete
house to be cast each day with each set of molds, openings or frames for doors and windows to be cast in
place, the same as empty tubes and pipes for sanitary and power installations.
CLC is comparable to conventional concrete; it is produced by the same equipment and offers infinite
increase of its mechanical and physical properties over time as the latter. Astonishing behavior of CLC is
becoming evident when used in conjunction with other materials, such as expanded clay/shale, fibers and
others. CLC, like conventional concrete ages well increasing its strength by as much as 50% between
28 and 90 days after pouring. As long as CLC draws humidity from the atmosphere it will keep on
increasing its mechanical properties.

*CLC uses the same raw material as in conventional concrete; hence it ages well and offers many advantages also over
conventional concrete. CLC cures within the same period as conventional concrete. CLC is most successfully used to cast
complete houses in situ, but also as prefab. Note: The structural savings in the cost of steel and concrete due to reduced
weight of walls would be additional advantage, as well as savings in transportation, foundation, piling and crane handling.

NEOPOR Recommendations
Producing CLC in Truck Mixers
To avoid costly waste, initial tests in small quantities of approximately 50 litres should be done.
When producing cellular concrete in a mobile mixer (ready-mix truck) it has to be strictly observed that
the mixing drum is thoroughly cleaned if regular concrete had been produced previously. This is in
particular true, if any additive had been used prior, as even traces of the same, might tend to be harm for
NEOPOR foam and consequently destroy some or even all of the foam injected.
As chemicals cannot just be washed out by water, it is necessary to clean the mixing drum by filling about
one cubic meter (m) of dry sand into it and run the mixer for one or two minutes. The sand, of course,
can afterwards be used again.

Producing CLC Blocks with Fly Ash


Using Fly Ash in CLC blocks can replace up to 25% of cement in the mix. It
should be noted however, that Fly Ash has to be tested to check its
suitability before being used.
The density recommended for blocks is 1000 kg /m3 and 1200 kg/m3 to
Produce prefab elements and walls cast in-situ. The typical mix for a
1000 kg/m3 density and 1 m CLC to be used in blocks is as follows:
Cement (Portland):

190 kg

61 litres

Sand (0 - 2 mm or finer):

430 kg

THE IDEAL ROOFING SOLUTION IN IRAQ NEOPOR CLC FOR FLOOR SCREED and
LEYCO TILE ROOFING SYSTEM
Heavy Concrete tiles are being used in Iraq long time ago as a conventional, simple and economical solution
for buildings roofing. Yet, the practical experience shows a number of disadvantages related to using the
conventional Concrete tiles for roofing. Such as:
1.

No heat insulation with high loss of energy.

2.

Buildings are exposed to high and continuous humidity.

3.

Extra and unnecessary loads on the construction due to the heavy weight of concrete tiles and layers
beneath used.

4.

Mastic is used for the joints and must be replaced annually.

5.

High cost on the short term as well as the long term due to the annual maintenance needed for this
type of buildings roofing.

Roofing with Heavy Concrete Tiles

Any alternative solution?


International researches and tests are continuously being conducted on building materials for better energy
saving, waterproofing and sound isolation in order to eliminate the disadvantages of old systems or
materials. New building materials are being introduced to the wide public.
LEYCO TILE is one of the newly produced materials used instead of the concrete tiles as the most ideal
solution for roofing in Iraq and the Middle East where temperature varies extremely.

Leyco Tile consists of two layers: 1-2 cm topping of high strength special mortar and a lower
layer of 3-5 cm high density extruded Polystyrene. Extruded closed cell Polystyrene is being used
for more than 50 years in construction. It does not absorb water, does not rot and is ideally used
for inverted roofing.
NEOPOR CLC is the best completion to this type of roofing system if used as a screed layer underneath
the Leyco Tile system. It saves more than 70% energy in winter and summer seasons.

Heat Insulation in hot and cold seasons.


High compressive strength: The topping of Leyco Tile is made of high strength polymeric
concrete laminated to extrude polystyrene foam which accepts a load of 6000 kg/m .
Energy Saving: Cool rooms do not need extra air-conditioning or heating systems and hence, using
the LEYCO TILE roofing system saves your money.
Light weight of Leyco Tiles to avoid extra loads on the buildings roofs.
Fast and easy application.
Annual maintenance is not required, unlike the conventional concrete tiles.
Small and appropriate size of Leyco Tile.
Leyco Tile protects against UV-radiation which shortens the life time of other roofing materials.
Drainage channels in Leyco Tile allow quick drying and aeration.
LEYCO TILE is fire and flame resistant.
Easy Replacement or removal of LEYCO TILEs if renovation is required.
