Lightweight blocks in polystyrene
Lightweight and strength at the same time

These make it possible to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, without thermal energy loss, guaranteeing considerable cost savings in the use of environmental air conditioning systems.
These increase the breathability of the walls preventing the formation of mould and considerably lightening the structure of the building.

How to use POLYTECH®blocks

POLYTECH® blocks are used as filling for outdoor walls and to build partition walls, as their breathability, lightweight and fire resistance make them ideal. Also used for the construction of load-bearing walls in non-earthquake areas, with a thickness of no less than 25 cm and a minimum density of 600 – 800 Kg/m³ with smooth blocks or with holes for the installation of steel bars and concrete casting.
Lastly POLYTECH® blocks are very commonly used for the fencing of containment walls or the perimeter of dwellings.

How to make POLYTECH® blocks
Material and machinery for the production of POLYTECH® blocks

In the production of POLYTECH® blocks, the raw materials (water, cement and sand if needed) are mixed together with EPS beads (virgin or recycled) and TECH additive in a mixer.
For a maximum daily production of 15 m³, the material is pumped into moulds in series and after at least 8 hours the produced panels can be cut into blocks of the required sizes.

For larger production, the material is poured into 1 m³ moulds and cut into blocks after at least 8 hours.
The drying stage is carried out without the addition of specific machinery such as furnaces or autoclaves.
POLYTECH® is left in the moulds until the cutting phase.

Thanks to the type of blade of our Block cutter, the material can be cut wet or dry therefore it is not necessary to cut within a certain amount of time.

To increase the technical characteristics of POLYTECH® blocks, the auxiliary additives, DSP XL and HDR can be added to the mixture.

Advantages to the use and the production of POLYTECH® blocks

Thermal insulation, lightweight, reduced cost of production, easy workability and versatility (ideal of construction and restructuring). With COISOIMPER machines, the independent production of POLYTECH® blocks required for the construction of civil and industrial buildings is even more advantageous.
COISOIMPER machines are used to entirely customise the block production process based on space, costs, quantity, size and density.
Plus, the advantages of POLYTECH® blocks production with COISOIMPER machines are found at every stage.

In the production phase:

Our machines are easy to use, they do not require great maintenance and are fully customisable according to the necessary daily production capacity, automations and equipment, dimensions of the panels and available space.

How to make POLYTECH® panels?

To make POLYTECH® panels with COISOIMPER machines all you need are water, cement, TECH or TECH S additive and polystyrene beads. The production process is carried out by mixing the raw materials in a specific mixer.
Is suggested to use also the auxiliary additives to increase the technical characteristics.

The material is poured into specific forms that determine the panel size.
Based on the forms, the panels can have smooth sides, male/female coupling or holes to pass cables through or to lighten the weight.
The dry density of the prefabricated panels depends on the end use, it can vary from 400 Kg/m3 to 600 Kg/m3.
Based on size and weight, the panels can be moved manually or with due systems.

POLYTECH® panel are used as filling for outdoor walls and indoor partitions. 
They are also ideal for building prefabricated houses in non-earthquake areas, for fencing and containment walls.

Advantages to the use and the production of POLYTECH® panels

There are multiple advantages to using POLYTECH® panels, the most important being insulation and lightweight.
They are also rigid and stable and are ideal for construction and restructuring, in addition to having a reduced production cost.
Independent production with COISOIMPER machines and local raw materials is therefore even more advantageous.

What are POLYTECH® walls?

A quick, low cost, single-storey home construction system (Social House) without the need for a factory with production line as the wallsare cast directly on site, with the EPS lightweight concrete POLYTECH®.
Casting is carried out directly on site in formwork where steel reinforcement is already installed, if necessary, and the electrical and hydraulic systems.

Where to use the technique POLYTECH® walls cast on site?

The on-site casting technique for walls and partitions can be used for the complete construction of low cost, single-storey homes (Social House) or for filling non load bearing walls where the load bearing structure (pillars and beams) are made with concrete or steel. In this application the thickness of the outer walls must not be less than 20 cm with minimum density of 400-500 kg/m³. While the partition walls can have a minimum thickness of 10 cm.
The on-site wall casting system is also suited for building fences and containment walls.

Walls made with POLYTECH® maintain a comfortable indoor climate, without thermal energy loss, also allowing considerable savings on the costs of use in environmental conditioning systems.
It also increases the transpirability of the walls preventing the formation of mould and considerably lightening the structure of the building.

How to cast POLYTECH® walls on site?

It is particularly easy to cast walls on site using the COISOIMPER system.
After installing the formwork, POLYTECH® is mixed and pumped by a complete machine, KOMPATTO R16 or Mp1, directly into the formwork.
From the next day the formwork can be removed, and it can be of any type as long as it is resistant to hydrostatic pressure and watertight.
To make POLYTECH® walls all you need are water, cement, polystyrene and TECH additive.

To increase the technical characteristics of POLYTECH® walls, the auxiliary additives, DSP XL and HDR can be added to the mixture.
