Now a days many new innovations can be seen in the construction industry. Among many some has got attention through out the world. These innovations and research are keen in producing the products that is energy efficient and can be re usable. One such product among them is Transparent cement.
I am very much surprised to see these products which are one of the most innovative researches that are used for energy efficient Building. But I feel very sad that India is still lagging in the technology in the construction industry thinking about the cost and budget.
Italcementi Group developed a new transparent cement used to build the Italian Pavilion for the Shanghai World Expo 2010. This is an innovative material from Italcementi Group Research.
A dedicated team of Italcementi Group researchers has worked over 3,000 hours since June 2008 to finalize the new ‘transparent cement’ development project.The new i.light® transparent cement, by bonding special resins into a newly conceived mix, allows manufacturing solid and insulated yet light-transmitting construction panels. Italcementi Group researchers have identified the right formulation of a dry ready-mixed product that allows inserting these plastic resins in the cementitious material, which is naturally opaque, without creating cracks and jeopardizing the structure.
