PROCUREMENT:
Lime is not usually available in nature in free state it shall be produced
from kilns by burning its ore.
DESCRIPTION:
 Chemical composition
 Physical requirements
 It is pure.
 Impurities like ashes or unburnt pieces should be picked up and
screened before slacking.
 Then lime is slacked lime for 1-2 weeks and is again screened as
per use i.e. sieved through sieve NO.250 or 240 if to be used as
mortar and through No.120 if it is to be used as finishing coats.
HANDLING:
 It should not come in contact with water before slaking.
 Workers handling should wear gloves and goggles.
 Quick lime evolves heat on slaking so care should be taken.
 Quick lime/hydraulic lime should be kept away from moisture.
PRECAUTIONS:
 Lime should be used within 14 days of removal from the kilns.
 It should be stored on weather proof damp proof floor.
 The places should be shaded with impervious sides.
 If lime is rejected due to some reasons,the material should be
always immediately removed from site.

oxide which are present in it comes in contact with moist air and
causes rusting.

ALUMINUM SECTIONS:
GENERAL SPECIFICATION
SCOPE:
Aluminium sections are widely used for
■ Construction industry
■ Machine construction
■Automotive industry
■ Shipbuilding
■Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning
■Solar collectors and photovoltaic panels
■ Interior design
■ Shower boxes
■ Exhibition equipment
■ Advertising facilities
■ Ladders, scaffoldings and supporting facilities
■ Electronics and electric equipment
■ Sun shading systems and, etc.

DESCRIPTION OF MATERIAL:
Aluminium sections are made using the different alloys of aluminum to
provide more strength and durability.

GROUP 4: SHYAM, RAGINI, RAHUL, SHELVIN, AKANKSHA, SHRESHTHA

Aluminium alloys: Required aluminium alloys should have good
extrusion properties and can be subjected to heat treatment at
extrusion temperature. This treatment provides the alloys with medium
to high strength, a good corrosion resistance even when used close to
the sea, and also allows the use of welding processes. A large part of
the extruded elements for load-bearing structures possess these
properties. They are used for load-bearing structures both on land and
in the sea.
They shall conform to IS 504:1963 and IS 1285:2002.

CLASSIFICATION
EXTRUDED ROUND TUBE :A circular hollow extrusion of uniform wall
thickness not subjected to cold working.
EXTRUDED STRUCTURAL TUBE: An extruded round tube brought to
final dimensions by extruding through a bridge type die, port hole die
or by similar method at the option of the producer.
EXTRUDED SEAMLESS TUBE: An extruded round tube brought to final
dimensions by extrusion of hollow billet.
HOLLOW SECTION: An extruded shape other than round tube,the cross
section of which completely encloses a void or voids.

STORAGE:
Proper care should be taken for storing the aluminium sections.It is
important that all manufacturers and users of aluminium handle and
store the metal in a safe and expedient way.

GROUP 4: SHYAM, RAGINI, RAHUL, SHELVIN, AKANKSHA, SHRESHTHA

Avoid water and moisture
It is important to keep in mind that aluminium does not withstand
water and moisture. Aluminium alloys with high magnesium content
are very sensitive to water and condensation, whereas purer alloys
have greater resistance. Moisture damage to aluminium appears as
white blotches or dark discoloration marks and can be observed.

PRECAUTION:
As aluminium is a metal and since machines have to be used for the
cutting and fitting, the people should be very alert during the work.
During the cutting work, metal pieces can be released from that and it
may hurt the body or it can directly damage the eyes, so this should be
taken care.

TRANSPORTATION:
It is important that aluminiumworkpieces be packaged in strong paper,
plastic or bubble foil during any moving and transportation to prevent
individual surfaces from bumping against each other.

MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

Payment is either by measuring the dimensions of the section of by
measuring the weight. It depends upon the type of section.

GROUP 4: SHYAM, RAGINI, RAHUL, SHELVIN, AKANKSHA, SHRESHTHA

PAINTS
SCOPE:
It is used as a:
 Finishing material.
 For exterior decoration of buildings.
 For both internal and external walls.
 For all decorative mouldings, cornices.

COMPOSITION:
 Binder is the main ingredient of paints. Binders are polymers
(resins) forming a continuous film on the substrate surface.
 Solvent (water or organic solvent) is a medium where the binder,
pigment and additives are dispersed in molecular form (true
solutions) or as colloidal dispersions (emulsions or sols).
 Pigment is a solid substance dispersed throughout the coating to
impart it a color, opacity (hide the substrate surface).
 Additives are small amounts of substances modifying the paint
properties.

CLASSIFICATION:
 OIL PAINTS:Widely used for wooden and metallic surfaces.
 PLASTIC PAINTS:Contains a certain amount of plastic.
 CEMENT PAINTS: Contains white cement, lime and chloride.
 BITUMINOUS PAINTS:Made by dissolving bitumen in
petroleum.
 DISTEMPER PAINTS: Consists of chalk, pigment and blue.
 WATER PAINTS: Mixture of pigment, binder and water.

GROUP 4: SHYAM, RAGINI, RAHUL, SHELVIN, AKANKSHA, SHRESHTHA

DESCRIPTION:
 Shall comply in all respects with relevant I.S.102-105:1950 and
I.S.106-108:1952.
 The paint shall not show excessive setting in a freshly opened full
and can be easily redispersed to a smooth homogeneous state
 The paint shall not skin within 48 hrs in 3 quarters filled closed
container.
 The paint shall dry to a smooth uniform finish free from
roughness, grit, unevenness, and other suitable imperfections.
 All vehicles shall be free from resin and resin derivatives.

USES:
Paint is used to protect objects from adverse effects of weather For
example: 
A coat of paint protects buildings and structures from the effects of
water and the sun by preventing water seepage and the effects of U.V.
radiation which would otherwise make the building and the structures
rot and degrade.
Metal structures are painted to prevent them from rusting. 
Paint is used to decorate all sorts of objects. Paint decoration is an
important industry. Painted objects are more attractive and valuable.
Paintings are pictures done in paint. Paintings are usually done on
board, canvas or paper. Old beautiful and famous paintings are very
valuable.Paint is used to give information by means of painted signs.
This include road lane marking, street signs, warning signs, and
advertising signs to mention but a few.
