WONDERING...WHAT IS FLY ASH?

Fly ash is a byproduct from burning pulverized coal in electric power generating plants. During combustion, mineral impurities in the coal (clay, feldspar, quartz, and shale) fuse in suspension and float out of the combustion chamber with the exhaust gases. As the fused material rises, it cools and solidifies into spherical glassy particles called fly ash. This can be used as a reinforcing agent in the manufacture of bricks, concrete etc.

AND WHY SHOULD YOU USE THEM?

With the advent of greener construction and increased awareness of environmental issues, major construction houses and even the government are moving towards using fly ash bricks. Here are some advantages of fly ash bricks.

LIGHT WEIGHT

With light bricks, this stress and tension are reduced manifold.

ABSORB LESS HEAT

Fly ash bricks absorb less heat suitable for the Indian climate.

COST EFFECTIVE

Overall fly ash bricks help decrease costs during various stages of construction.

ECO FRIENDLY

Production of fly ash bricks requires no fossil fuel and hence does not lead to the emission of greenhouse gases.

NO ENV. DAMAGE

No top-soil damage in the production of fly ash bricks.

STRONGER AND UNIFORM

Fly ash bricks are stronger, more uniform and denser as compared to clay bricks.
