Styrotex as
Void Filler
By using Styrotex Expanded Polystyrene Void Fillers, architects, construction engineers and builders today, are making use of the opportunity presented by system solutions and incorporating them into their plans appropriately for the functions concerned. Styrotex Expanded Polystyrene is compatible with cement and concrete and is used as lightweight fill in geotechnical applications (GeoFoam) to reduce settlement and/or enhance soil stability.
Styrotex Void Fillers can be manufactured to most shapes specified by design engineers.
Applications include:
-
Lightweight Fill
-
Road Embankments
-
Retaining Wall or Abutment Backfill
-
Slope Stabilization
Decking Modules:
Styrotex Decking Modules are used as void fillers in decking, which not only enhance thermal and acoustic insulation but are also extremely lightweight and cost-effective.
Obvious Advantages:
-
No bottom-of-slab formwork required
-
Reduced weight on foundation of structures
-
Installation time is reduced by 70%
-
Up to 30% cost saving on material
-
Easy handling of components before pouring of concrete and therefore a minimal risk of damage to components
More about Void Fillers:
Creative architects and engineers fill the void with a lightweight and cost-effective solution.
Styrotex Expanded Polystyrene is compatible with cement, concrete, brick, masonry, mortars, plaster and bitumen-based damp-proof membranes.
Void Fillers can be manufactured to most shapes specified by designers for projects such as Bridge Beams, elevated motorways, etc. in which void forming is fundamental to modern design.
