Mangalore, November 14: ACC Ltd has launched 'Coastal+', a premium eco-friendly cement brand in Mangalore recently. Coastal+ is a technologically advanced cement offering superior protection against coastal climate.

Launching the product in Mangalore on last Thursday, Mr Ramit Budhraja, Chief Executive, South & West Region, ACC Ltd, said that Coastal+ is specially designed considering the exposure conditions in coastal areas. This cement provides protection to structure from aggressive environment, he said.

Explaining this, Mr Budhraja said concrete made from Coastal+ is more cohesive. With this, concrete structures will have low permeability compared to structures made with ordinary cement. Lower permeability results in higher protection from various exposures, making the structures more durable.

The cement is ideal for usage in foundations, roofing and to the sections exposed to external environment.

With Coastal+, ACC also offers value-added services like guidance on good construction practices, testing of ingredients at site, site visits at different stages of construction, basic proportion design for concrete, testing performance of concrete structure. ACC will also offer durability tests like RCPT (Rapid Chloride Penetration Test) and UPVT (Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Test) to customers who use Coastal+.

Asked about the cost of the cement, he said a 50-kg bag of Coastal+ costs Rs 340. The ordinary general purpose cement costs around Rs 325 a bag.

Udupi, Apr 2: The Udupi Administration has given its nod to lift and transport watermelons, pineapples, papaya and Mattu Gulla after growers in the district complained that their produce will go waste and start rotting due to the lockdown on account of COVID-19.

In statement issued here on Thursday, Deputy Commissioner G Jagadeesha said that the administration has already held a meeting with wholesale fruit merchants registered with the Agriculture Marketing Produce Committee (APMC).

It has directed these merchants to purchase 35 tonnes of pineapples, 55 tonnes of watermelons and 5,000 bunches of bananas from growers and sell them within the district and also send them to other districts. Such transportation has been exempted from prohibitory orders, he said.

Mangaluru, Apr 16: An old refrigerator has been turned into a "disinfection chamber" by researchers who are striving to come up with solutions to tackle the spread of coronavirus.

Dr Arun M Isloor, head of Chemistry Department, National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK), Surathkal, along with research scholar Syed Ibrahim has come up with the device which can disinfect items kept inside it.

"We have named this as ZERO-COV," Dr Isloor said.

He says the device ensures 99.9 per cent destruction of microorganisms present on the surface of items.

"We can keep items like vegetables, currency notes, books or envelopes inside the chamber. Switching on the chamber for 15 minutes ensures 99.9 per cent destruction of microorganisms present in the surface of the items," Dr Isloor added.
