LITAGG Industries Pvt Ltd develops nodullär, an innovative lightweight aggregate for waterproofing and thermal insulation applications. Nodullär improves on traditional brickbat methods by being lighter weight, easier to apply, and providing better waterproofing and insulation. It achieves the three fundamentals of waterproofing by having good adhesion, proper slope for drainage, and a smooth surface. Nodullär balls are porous and insulated, helping reduce heat transfer and improving building comfort.
2. Why nodular
Traditionally proven technologies like Brickbats / Integral Type are used as
waterproofing But nowadays leads to failure , majorly because :
Imposes unnecessary structural load on the building
Cracks reappeared due to temperature variations , causing water leakages
Damages to mother slab on restoration / repair
Lack of skilled manpower
Non-Availability of good quality bricks nor its quantity available as
waste/excess
Not confused to be good waterproofing , it is used as filler
Innovating Traditional Methods

3. nodullär- Achieves “3S” Fundamentals of waterproofing
3S Fundamentals of water proofing for overdeck application :
Substrate :
Any material / compound to be laid over mother slab shall be compatible to
have good and strong adhesion/bonding to form a homogenous element
Slope :
Any material laid in proper gradient / slope ,
ensure easy water drain out from the surface
Surface :
Surface shall be smooth enough to drain water without any obstructions

5. • nodullär aggregates are round in shape with coarse texture,
off white / ivory coloured with a cellular structure inside , are
pelletized and processed resulting in light , porous aerated
modules with a tough outer shell aggregates, used for
roof/heat insulation .
• In addition each of the nodullär balls also acts to form of
geometric barrier which helps to :
Displace and irradiates heat over a larger surface area the air
entrapped thus , reduces the rate of heat transfer compared
with dense, natural aggregates.
• Resulting the use of nodullär in concrete improves, (i.e.
reduces) the thermal conductivity. Therefore , the thermal
properties of nodullär have been used widely to improve
thermal insulation in buildings and structures.
