In recent decades, the construction industry in Iran has undergone significant changes. The emergence of light, resistant and cost-effective materials has caused a transformation in traditional construction methods. One of the most important materials is mineral pumice, which, with its unique physical properties, has found a special place in modern construction projects.
Among the prominent producers in this field, Sotoudeh mineral puke, focusing on quality, principled extraction and accurate granulation, has been able to establish its name as a trusted reference in the production of lentil, pea, hazelnut and almond puke across the country.
Familiarity with mineral pumice and its structural features
Mineral pumice is a volcanic rock that is produced by rapid cooling of molten materials. Due to the presence of air bubbles in its structure, this stone is very light, resistant and heat and sound insulating.
The structural composition of pumice includes silica, aluminum, iron oxide and magnesium, which makes pumice one of the best options for use in modern buildings in terms of pressure and chemical resistance.
The use of types of lentil, pea, hazelnut and almond pumice in modern construction due to these natural features, has expanded significantly and large companies in Kerman, Babak, Yazd and Tehran benefit from Sotoudeh mineral pumice products.
Types of mineral pumice and the unique characteristics of each one
Lens pumice
Lens pumice is one of the lightest types of mineral pumice. The diameter of its particles is approximately between 3 and 5 mm, and due to its high fineness, it is very popular for the production of lightweight concrete and insulating blocks.
In modern projects where reducing the weight of the structure is important, the use of lenticular pumice increases efficiency and reduces construction costs. Using types of lentil, pea, hazelnut and almond pumice in modern construction, especially in lentil pumice, focuses a lot on reducing the dead load of the building.
Poke peas
pea pumice with a size between 5 and 10 mm is widely used for wall covering and flooring. This pumice is very resistant in combination with cement, light concrete and mortar. One of the advantages of the praised pea pumice is its high resistance to heat and humidity, which makes it ideal for industrial structures and hot and dry areas of Kerman.
Hazelnut pumice
Almond pumice
Almond pumice is one of the largest pumice seeds and its size is usually between 10 and 20 mm. This type of pumice stone is used in the slope of roofs, filling holes and under the floors of buildings. The lightness and stability of the praised almond pumice has made the buildings more durable and their weight has been significantly reduced.
The role of mineral pumice in construction quality
Strict quality control of raw materials
In Sotoudeh mineral pumice collection, the process of pumice extraction and processing is done with special care. Every type of puke, including lentils, chickpeas, hazelnuts and almonds, after being extracted from the mine of Babak city in Kerman, is subjected to a careful examination in terms of weight, density, size and purity.
This precise control has caused the use of lentil, pea, hazelnut and almond pumice in modern construction with high reliability and the products of this collection can meet national and international standards.
Sustainable production with an environmental approach
One of the prominent features of the praised mineral pumice is its principled and sustainable extraction. By complying with environmental standards and using low-consumption machinery, this complex tries to minimize the harmful environmental effects of pumice extraction. As a result, the production of these light materials not only helps the growth of the industry, but also ensures the protection of the natural resource of Babak Kerman city.
Advantages of using mineral pumice in modern buildings
- Reducing the weight of the structure:
Mineral pumice has a much lower weight than traditional materials such as sand. This feature helps to reduce the dead load of the building and increases the strength of the structure.
- Increasing resistance to earthquakes:
Using lightweight pumice reduces the lateral force on the structure during an earthquake. This factor will increase the general safety of buildings.
- Thermal and sound insulation:
The presence of high volume of air bubbles in the pumice structure makes it difficult to transfer the heat and sound of the environment. This feature has made pumice an ideal material for insulation in modern homes.
- Resistance to moisture and fire:
Mineral pumice is completely natural and non-flammable. In addition, it absorbs very little moisture and in humid areas, pumice stone is the best option to increase the durability of the building.
Application of lentil, pea, hazelnut and almond pumice in different parts of modern construction
Use in light concrete
In projects that need to reduce weight and increase resistance, lentil and pea pumice are the best combination for lightweight concrete. In addition to being light, this concrete has a very good compressive strength and is used in the construction of walls, ceilings and floors.
Use in roof slope
Almond pumice is the best option for sloping roofs and channeling rainwater. Light weight, high stability and lack of water absorption are the reasons for choosing this type of pumice by civil engineers.
Flooring floors
Hazelnut and pea pumice are used to fill the floor of the floors to reduce the weight of the building and provide a uniform surface for installing flooring.
Light block construction
Lens and hazel pumice stones are very useful in making light blocks and blades. In addition to being light, these blocks have good resistance to pressure and heat, which has made the block making industry one of the main markets for the consumption of mineral pumice.
The economic effect of Puke Sotoudeh in the construction development of Kerman and the country
Cost savings
Using praised mineral pumice due to its light weight and high durability reduces transportation, manufacturing and maintenance costs. In the construction of modern buildings, the costs will be between 15 and 30 percent lower than traditional materials.
Job creation and regional prosperity
The activity of Sotoudeh mineral pumice mine in Babak city of Kerman, in addition to producing high-quality materials, has created employment for hundreds of people in the field of extraction, packaging, transportation and sales. This issue has a significant contribution to the economic growth and sustainable development of the region.
The future outlook of the mineral pumice industry has been praised
Using smart technology in the separation of pumice, digital quality control and cooperation with large construction companies are among the future plans of this complex. The future of the building styling industry in Iran is highly dependent on the efforts of collections such as Puke Mineral Soudeh, which offers quality along with innovation.
Final summary
In summary, it can be said that the use of lentil, pea, hazelnut and almond pumice in modern construction plays a key role in the progress of Iran's construction industry. These pumice stones have been introduced as a smart alternative to heavy materials with features such as lightness, durability, insulation and compatibility with the environment.
Praised mineral pumice collection has been able to gain the trust of contractors and engineers in the country by extracting principles from the natural resources of Babak Kerman city and accurately grading all types of pumice. The combination of high quality, fast shipping and expert advice has made this brand the first choice in the mineral pumice market.
Choosing praised mineral pumice products not only helps to reduce construction costs, but also creates a more resistant and sustainable future for Iran's construction industry.
