UltraTech Litecon, a concrete product from the UltraTech Concrete portfolio, is a useful lightweight construction material with both non-structural as well as structural versions. While non-structural version of Litecon is often used as a smart filler material for sunken and roof slabs, Litecon (structural) provides the structural designer with an ability to design structural elements with much lesser dead loads, eventually saving costs and improving the feasibility of the structure. Litecon (structural) is produced using sustainable lightweight aggregates and is quite often used in composite steel decking slabs and building extension projects, without a threat of major increase in loading. Buildings using Litecon would be greener as compared to other buildings because this product enables superior energy conservation and fire safety.
UltraTech Cement has innovation and sustainability ingrained as part of its work culture, and the Concrete business has been at the forefront of coming up with creative and sustainable solutions. The product was developed and piloted by the RMC technical team in Maharashtra.
