LOTUS RMP
In keeping with our pioneering efforts in research at our R&D Centre at Pondicherry, LOTUS
RMP Roofing Sheets was introduced by us in the year 1985 to meet the need for cost effective and high
endurance roofing.Lotus RMP Sheets are fire resistant, generally conforming to BS 476:part 3:1975 and IS 1734: Part III:1973.The sheets can replace GI and AC sheets to a large extent for use particularly in Chemical and Food Processing Industries due to their excellent resistance to almost all organic solvents,for eg.,Acid,Alkali and Salts. The sheets are also ideal for use in hilly regions,very cold places as well as hot and humid zones due to their inherent property of ultra violet light and converting it into thermal energy,and functioning as heat isolation agents.Thus the place is kept warmer in winter and cooler in summer. The product has been extensively tested at various recognised laboratories in India and abroad including Structural Engineering Research Center(CSIR), Central Building Research Institute(CBRI), Central Institute of Plastics Engineering and Technology(CIPET),Electrical Inspectorate of the Government of Kerala etc., and certified for all types of roofing applications in India.
LOTUS
OPAQUE
LOTUS Opaque Corrugated Roofing Sheets are distinguished by their attractie colours and
smooth finish on both sides.Their unique resistance to weathering render them the ideal matertial
for decorative and tough roofing applications.As standalone competetive building material for demanding construction and industrial purposes, Lotus Opaque Roofing Sheets offer a total saving of 10% in the overall construction cost of an industrial structure as compared to AC Sheets. LOTUS DAYLITE DAYLITE is
the latest introduction from LOTUS. Incorporating the best of imported and Indian raw
matetials, these translucent sheets possess high UV stability, heat distortion resistance and
fire retardent properties. Allowing 45-50% transparency, the sheets create an ambient atmosphere
by filtering natural sunlight. The sheets are flexible, light weight and impermeable,
thus allowing significant savings in structural cost. With high tensile and fracture strength,
the sheets are rust,rodent and termite proof.As a superior alternative to fibre glass sheets, which are usually handmade,breakable and of incosistent quality, DAYLITE has high impact resistance and load bearing capacity. LOTUS PANERL ART RIGID PVC/RMP PLAIN SHEETS LOTUS Panel Art
Sheets combine economy,
light weight, high tensile strength, fire resistance, corrosion reistance and
weather resistance properties for both outdoor and indoor applications. LOTUS Panel Art
Sheets in convenient sizes are available in pleasing colours for a wide range of applications like
False Ceiling, Partition, Wall Cladding, Door Skins for Bathroom and Balcony
Doors etc.When mounted beneath purlins as false ceiling for conventional roofing sheets to cover a large area, Lotus Panel Art sheets are cost effective and much superior as compared to any other false ceiling product in the market. While drastically reducing heat radiation from above, Lotus Panel Art sheets as false ceiling, have superior weather resistance and high strength to weight ratio as compared to mineral wool or wood panel products. Moreover unlike wood based materials LOTUS Panel Art is fire-retardent in as much as it is self extinguishing. Lotus Panel Art Sheets also serve as ideal material for cladding of walls in diverse environmental and service conditions such as high moisture and very damp areas, heat, high humidity, chemicals such as acids, alkalies, soaps, oils, phosphates, bacteria etc. Lotus Panel Art sheets can also be used for truck bodies, bus bodies, boat building, kiosks, air-tight grain storage house leak proof covering, cold storage, cooling towers, mats for animal stocks etc. |
