As advanced technology has been deeply integrated and brought about radical changes in the past labor-intensive construction industry, there has been a growing need for developing innovative industrial materials to cope with such sweeping changes. This is where the role of ALC (autoclaved lightweight concrete) comes in, a standardized material that capitalizes on advanced technology and displays multifaceted functionalities.

This lightweight aerated concrete material is steam-cured under high temperature and pressure, mixed with silicon and cement and produced through an automated state-of-the-art system.

ALC was first developed in Sweden in the 1920s. Since then, the material has gained wide acceptance in Europe, especially during restoration of the cities after World War II. In Korea, Poong Lim opened an era of ALC with the introduction of Siporex in 1989.

High-performance and multi-function will be key features to determine the competitiveness of materials in the future. Standing at the forefront of such changes, Poong Lim ALC will continue to be a material of choice with its excellence in thermal insulation, fire-resistance, sound-proofing and constructability.
