Senad HLWC

Senad HLWC – High-Performance Lightweight Cement for Sustainable Construction

Senad HLWC (High-Load, Lightweight Cement) is an advanced cement-based construction material engineered for strength, durability, and environmental performance. Developed through decades of innovation, Senad offers a robust alternative to traditional concrete systems with a significantly lower environmental footprint.

Key Characteristics

• Lightweight Composition:
  With a density ranging between 600 and 1,200 kg/m³, Senad HLWC dramatically reduces structural weight, easing transport, handling, and structural load requirements.

• Waterproof & Fire-Resistant:
  The material is both water-repellent and non-combustible, making it ideal for use in harsh environments, wet conditions, or fire-rated assemblies.

• Cement-Based, Sand-Free Formula:
  By eliminating sand and replacing it with air and water within a closed-pore matrix, Senad reduces raw material demand, streamlines the supply chain, and contributes to circular construction strategies.

• Thermal and Acoustic Insulation:
  The porous structure offers superior insulation properties, improving energy performance in both residential and industrial applications.

• Customisable Recipes:
  Strength, density, and curing speed can be tailored through admixtures, allowing for adaptation to specific site or regional needs—whether for load-bearing elements, prefabricated panels, or infill systems.

Environmental Advantages

• Reduced CO₂ Emissions:
  Lower material usage and weight significantly cut transportation and embodied carbon.

• Less Need for Heavy Machinery:
  Lightweight handling allows for easier manual placement or smaller lifting equipment, saving energy and reducing site impact.

• Faster, Cleaner Builds:
  Suitable for modular or prefabricated systems, Senad supports industrialised construction and on-site efficiency.

Applications

• Wall panels, floor slabs, modular units

• Marine and coastal infrastructure

• Prefabricated housing systems

• Fire-rated partitions and protective casings

• Retrofit and lightweight building envelopes
