Arqlite

Replaces natural rock in concrete with processed non-recyclable plastics, reducing weight and improving insulation for construction projects.

About Arqlite

Arqlite is an artificial rock resulting from the mixture of different plastic polymers, designed to partly replace natural rock used in the preparation of concrete. The use of Arqlite as an aggregate is ideal for construction, as it achieves better thermal and acoustic insulation, while generating a a lighter material and a more sustainable construction. A distinguishing feature is that the plastics used mainly belong to the category of non-recyclable. These plastics differ from traditional for its extreme hardness, its multiple composition and other variables that exclude them from a sustainable treatment processes. By using Arqlite, the construction industry prevents thousands of tons of these plastics end up being buried or incinerated, helping to mitigate environmental pollution. All materials used are subject to thorough quality tests and are processed on a patented mix to produce Arqlite, ensuring consistent results in preparing the concrete while adding great benefits.
