    PLASTIC (PVC) COVER BLOCKS


    Providing and ensuring adequate and uniform cover to steel reinforcement in the construction
    activity is very vital from the view point of DURABILITY of the structure.

    After meticulous study, analysis and experiments, we have developed application oriented
    injection molded plastic cover blocks to meet the requirements of strength, dimensional stability
    and ease of handling in harsh and extreme site conditions of the construction industry. We offer
    complete range of cover blocks for varied applications.

    SALIENT FEATURES:-

     MADE IN VERSATILE ENGINEERING PLASTIC MATERIAL.


     ROBUST AND STURDY TO TAKE MAIN REINFORCEMENT LOADS.
     CONTOUR CUT-OUT AND MAT FINISHED FOR EXCELLENT BONDING WITH CONCRETE.
     DIMENSIONAL STABILITY.
     EFFICIENCY IN INSTALLATION.
     TECHNICAL AND COMMERCIAL ADVANTAGES OVER CONVENTIONAL METHODS.

    BLOCK TYPE COVERS (Item Code BB)


    Essentially used for bottom/side applications, providing cover to main reinforcement
    directly/via stirrups. These cover blocks are designed for stability to avoid dislodging due to
    vibration during concreting.

    VERSATILE ADJUSTABLE CONE SPACERS (Item Code SSV)


    Essentially used across width for tying opposite shuttering sides to maintain perfect thickness of
    wall/tunnel form, sheer walls, long columns, deep beams, bridge piers, etc. The end cones are
    reusable. These end cone spacers are specially designed for efficient performance including
    installation and removal. The studs of Ø upto 18mm can be accommodated through the cone
    spacer.

    NOTE:- DIMENSIONAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR ALL TYPES OF COVER BLOCKS ARE CONFORMING
    TO “INDIAN STANDARDS.”

    TECHNICAL NOTE
    ON
    PVC COVER BLOCKS, CONES
    AND VARIOUS ENGINEERING PRODUCTS
    In recent years, durability of concrete structures have become the cause of concern to all concrete
    technologies and has led to the need to codify related requirements. In light of this, significant
    changes have been incorporated in the latest IS:456:2000, to introduce in-built protection from factors
    affecting durability of concrete structures. It is observed that more emphasis is given on the
    following:-

    1. Grade of concrete.
    2. Mix Design.
    3. Water-cement ratio.
    4. Cover to the reinforcement.
    5. Crack width.

    It is now recommended by bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) to follow the norms mentioned
    hereunder, during execution to impart the applied degree of protection to the concrete structure

    Cover to the reinforcement and crack width:


    The revised version of IS: 456 emphasizes on minimizing the crack width to prevent ingress of
    moisture in the structure, thus, reducing the chances of corrosion. The crack width mainly depends on
    cover to the reinforcement and the stress level in the reinforcement. The stress level in the
    reinforcement can be controlled during the design stage for specified cover. As such, during the
    execution, it is very much important to maintain the specified cover. Moreover, the revised version
    specifies tolerance limit on placing of the reinforcement and cover.

    In order to follow the above norms, M/s MAXFORM INDUSTRIES has scientifically developed
    various ranges of PVC cover blocks to impart DURABILITY & accordingly provide proper cover to
    steel reinforcement.

    If selection of cover block is not done critically, all such vital important norms cannot be fulfilled and
    hence may lead to more crack width, thereby chances of ingress of moisture, ultimately leading to
    corrosion of steel, seriously affecting the quality and DURABILITY of the structure.

    In view of this fact, we ensure our product conforming to the following specifications:-

    1. Dimensionally stable.

    2. The cover block imparts sturdiness to the reinforcement cages and do not get displaced
    during the placing of concrete/compaction.

    3. The design of cover block is arrived to make it strong, sturdy and dimensionally stable.

    4. The cover blocks withstand with the tough conditions prevailing at construction site.

    5. The cover blocks withstand with the increase temperature during the process of hydration of
    concrete.

    6. The cover blocks have rough/protruding surface to ensure proper surface bonding with the
    concrete.

    It is generally observed that, the cement mortar cover blocks do not comply with the above
    specifications and requirements as laid down in revised version of IS:456.
