Thermocrete is a concrete mixed with Thermocol (polystyrene) balls. These balls act as air cavities, isolating and reducing heat transfer through the material, with a cooling potential of 2°C to 3°C. Thermocrete is often used in chimney constructions but also available as a construction panel material. Novel alternatives to concrete and polysterene are under development. They include products made from biodegradable materials such as agricultural waste and fungi. Market availability at present is limited. But will likely grow with increased demand.[1] Prism Johnson Limited is a building materials company that operates 97 ready-mix concrete plants in India. Thermocrete is included in their product list.
