2. LIQUID GRANITE IS A VERY VERSATILE MATERIAL THAT CAN BE USED IN A SIMILAR WAY TO
CONCRETE.
LIQUID GRANITE IS MADE FROM AN INORGANIC POWDER, 30% TO 70% OF WHICH IS RECYCLED
INDUSTRIAL WASTE MATERIALS.USING THE SAME AGGREGATE AS NORMAL CONCRETE.LIQUID
GRANITE REPLACES THE NEED FOR MORE THAN TWO THIRD OF PORTLAND CEMENT WHEN MAKING OF
CONCRETE THEREBY SAVING THE ASSOCIATED CARBON EMISSION.

’Liquid Granite is a very versatile material that can be used in a similar way to concrete.
The fact that it has a high level of fire resistance means it can be used in areas where fire
safety is crucial, such as around power stations, and in domestic and commercial
buildings it can offer added time for evacuation in case of an emergency,’ said Prof Pal
Mangat.
LIQUID GRANITE IS ALREADY BEEN USED IN FIRE RATED LINTELS AT THE OLYMPIC VILLAGE AND
STRATFORD SHOPPING CENTRE IN EAST LONDON.THEY ALSO TESTED TECHNOLOGY BY EXOVA
WARRINGTONFIRE AND HAS ACHIEVED 240 MINUTES FIRE RESISTANCE WHEN USED STRUCTURAL
LINTEL. THE FIRE TEST ILLUSTRATED THE DIFFERENCE IN REACTION TO FIRE OF LIQUID GRANITE OVER
STANDARD CONCRETE . LIQUID GRANITE LINTEL ALLOWS THE RELEASE OF MOISTURE WHEN HEATED
WITHOUT CAUSING A BUILDUP OF INTERNAL PORE PRESSURE, HENCE PREVENTS SPALLING AND FIRE
LOAD AS NO MOISTURE IS TRAPPED WITH PORE STRUCTURE ,THE INITIAL TEMPERATURE RISE IS
GREATER THAN SEEN IN THE STANDARD CONCRETE LINTEL

5. ONE OF THE METHOD OF USING LIQUID GRANITE:
1.LIQUID GRANITE PAINTING.

As a result , a granite texture wall is created.

2. LIQUID GRANITE IN FLOORING:
3.MAKING OF GRANITE STONE:
4.MAKING OF STAIRCASES:

CONCLUSION:
RECENTLY THE USE OF LIQUID GRANITE IS LIMITED BECAUSE OF UNAWARENESS OF SUSTAINABLE
TECHNOLOGIES IN INDIA, MANY COUNTRIES LIKE UK ,CHINA AND AMERICA HAVE BEING USING IT IN
THEIR PROJECTS. MANY ENGINEER AND SCIENTISTS ARE STILL WORKING ON IT FOR UNDERSTANDING
ITS BENEFITS IN MORE DETAILS.
WE CAN USE IT IN BIG COMPLEXES, THERMAL STATIONS ,POWER PLANTS, AND THE AREAS WHERE RISK
OF FIRE IS MORE. IT IS HIGHLY SUSTAINABLE, CAN BE ALSO USE IN CONSTRUCTION OF LOAD BEARING
STRUCTURES TOO.IT IS EASY TO MAKE AND CAN BE ALSO EASILY AVAILABLE IN MARKET IN FUTURE, IT
THE BEST MATERIAL. IT DOESN'T REQUIRE MUCH LABOUR WORK AND MAINTENANCE . IN FUTURE IT
CAN BE CHEAPEST THAN EXTRACTING GRANITE STONE .
