Preface

CSL Technologies (M) Sdn Bhd (CSL) is a design, fabricate and manufacturer of precast Lightweight Reinforced Concrete (LRC) decorative products and we are developing this decorative concrete products into more advance technology of cast sand stone. This is because it has been presented with the exclusive license from Australia to manufacture the “Artstone” & “LRC” product technologies and has led to improved quality, increased versatility and cost effectiveness that gave the company's growth a competitive edge.

The company is an extremely young and energetic team with an exciting opportunity to make an impact in the building construction industry. We meet all challenges with dedication and commitment while enhancing the living standards of the community. We also undertake the strength of practice and commitment to excellence, with total professionalism and expertise.

LRC Tech (M) Sdn Bhd has been completed various prestigious project not only Residential, Commercials, Hotels, Public Buildings, Mosque and Palaces projects throughout Malaysia, but oversea project like Italy, Taiwan and UAE as well.

Today, the business driven by innovation and technology, in year 2000 our company was invested more than a million into Research & Development and also has acknowledged the importance of having R&D capability to acquire new depth and strengths to support its spectrum of business activities.

In year 2009, our product has obtained Singapore Green Labelling Scheme (SGLS).
as "Green Label" product under category 22. LRC has achieved a remarkable growth in the building industry market and strived to improve every aspect of our performance. Our success as a business depends not only on our skills, quality and diversity of the Group’s assets, but also on our shared commitment to be a global partner and proudly in support of our vision as a market leader in building industry.

“LOOK MORE LIKE STONE THAN STONE LIKE”

Performance

REINFORCEMENT
The bamboo strips are using to replace steel bar as reinforcement. Even for small or large element we shall cast-in during production process in place. Where the size shall be 1/8 of the bamboo diameter or 20mm wide splints are used, they shall be done in accordance with the requirements as tensile element in concrete design.
The use of bamboo as reinforcement in Portland cement precast concrete elements has been used as a construction material in certain areas for centuries, feasibility of replacement bamboo as the reinforcing material in precast concrete elements was conducted at the U. S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station in 1964.

SHAPE / DESIGN
The element designs are to be formed in precast LRC to achieve whatsoever profiles indicated by the Architect’s drawings. Sometimes, client requested for individual design for their building. With special design and difference moulding has to be made.

FINISH
The LRC products are all produced in composite cement finished as specified by the Architect and as shown in the drawings. The surface will be received paint finish or any optional. Sometime, architect or client could select any acceptable variation in texture, color and appearance on the range of finish.

DEFECTS
The finished LRC products shall be as free as possible from surface imperfections such as blowholes, voids and ridges or any other defects that is visible on the end product when inspected from an appropriate distance. It could be fixed and repaired always.

STAINING
Any dirt on the LRC product due to storage, handling, transportation, and erection shall be removable. To facilitate, the products may be given a water-repellent treatment or upon request.

WATER PENETRATION
The LRC products shall not allow water to penetrate through the thickness of the elements so that dampness will not occurs on the inside face. Surface protection coat to be applied with painted or water proofing treatment immediately after installed.

FIRE RESISTANCE
The LRC products are non-combustible and meet the requirements of BS 476, Parts 4 “Fire Tests on Building Materials and Structures:” or BS E15, ASTM E136 when used as surface material, its flame spread index of zero and less than 5 smoke density.

THERMAL INSULATION
The LRC wall panel or block products shall be at 1.0 to 0.75 btu/in./hr/ft2/deg.F in accordance with British Standard.
*Note: Thermal insulation property of LRC is higher than GRC product and lighter in density.

GUARANTEE / WARRANTY
CSL Technologies (M) Sdn Bhd stands by the quality and workmanship of its complete range of products. Every stage of production has on-going quality controls in place. All products are manufactured to and exceed Malaysia and Australia Standards therefore no expressed guarantee or warrantee are given. Manufacturer’s liability is limited to replacement of product if inspected before installation. Products are supplied according to LRC Tech (M) Sdn. Bhd standard ‘Terms & Conditions of Sale’. However, AIG General Insurance (M) Berhad will insure for Comprehensive General Liability Insurance for limit of indemnity of RM 0.5million.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
LRC products are the closest representation to stone and will perform similarly to natural stone. The unique natural sandy texture requires care and attention. Unsealed and over a period of time, mould growth can appear, slight salts could rise to the surface and stains of general wear might become apparent. A professional sealing, painting and cleaning regime will prolong the “new look” with recommendations of proper waterproofing or others chemical applied.

EXTRAS
LRC delivers with its exclusive quality products, matching service and technical support. We can help transform your original architectural designs into one-off customized moulded products. Matching colours and design mixes are also available for a complete project. We also have given our maintenance team to serve you or your client after liability period services.

Specification

LRC product is a high performance of Cement based composite product. It consists of cellulose fiber that given flexural, tensile and impact strength. The cellulose fiber work with lightweight aggregate and admixture has an advantage of reduced density.

Autoclave used as steam curing process which high pressure (130psi) and high temperature (175oC) for 4 hours; to improve the LRC product physical characteristics and achieve early strength. The Autoclaving process changes the cement based product to a crystalline structure much stronger and more stable, further to expedite in delivery time compares to other conventional lightweight concrete technology products.

LRC products are non-combustible when used as surface decoration material with a flame-spread index of zero. It has achieved 3 hours fire rating test. (SIRIM. BS 476. parts 4)
