Qbond-Lite
Qbond-Lite is nothing but Lightweight filler concrete is a specialized type of concrete designed to reduce weight while maintaining sufficient strength for various applications. Its unique properties make it particularly useful in situations where reducing the load on structural elements is crucial, such as in high-rise buildings, roof decks, and precast concrete products.
1.Lower Density: The primary feature is its reduced weight compared to standard concrete, usually achieved by using lightweight aggregates like expanded clay, shale, slate, pumice, or perlite.
2.Thermal Insulation: Due to the porous nature of lightweight aggregates, this type of concrete often has better insulating properties.
3.Lower Structural Load: It reduces the load on structural components, making it ideal for use in areas where weight is a critical factor.

Where to use
Roof Decks
Lightweight concrete is often used in roof construction to reduce the load on the structure while providing good insulation.
Precast Concrete Products
Lightweight concrete is commonly used for precast panels, blocks, and other concrete elements where transportation and handling are easier due to the reduced weight.
Bridges and High-Rise Buildings
The reduced weight of lightweight concrete can help reduce the load on structural components, making it suitable for use in bridges and high-rise buildings.
Soundproofing
Due to its porous structure, lightweight concrete can be effective in soundproofing applications, such as in walls and floors.
Void Filling
It is used to fill voids or cavities in structures where a lighter material is required to avoid adding significant weight.
Slope Stabilization
Lightweight concrete can be used to stabilize slopes or embankments by reducing the earth pressure.
