Light straw clay panel core
Demonstrated programme · GCIP finalist, 2017
An alternative-core research programme. Application-specific performance and approvals must be established before specification.
Engineering and product development.
SEED Labs brings in-house design, formulation and prototyping together. Programmes have different stages of development, from exploratory concepts to products and completed plant projects.
Panel systems: exploring the core.
The programme explores light straw clay as an alternative core within a concrete insulated panel system. This work was a finalist in the UNIDO Global Cleantech Innovation Programme, Pakistan, in 2017.
Replacing a core changes the system that must be assessed. Structural, thermal, moisture and fire performance require design and testing for the intended application.

CLC mix development
Documented methodology · Plant commissioned, 2022
The 2026-04-28 insulating-screed methodology specifies hardened density below 600 kg/m³ and 28-day compressive strength above 1.75 MPa, with test methods including ASTM C567 and C495. These are targets for that methodology, not independent certification or performance claims for every CLC product.

SEED Defence and SEED Design work on protective doors and hardened structures. Design and fabrication capability is separate from certification of a particular assembly or rating.
In-house design and formulation.
SEED Design provides in-house engineering for the group's development programmes. Formulation and material-testing work supports mix development, prototypes and project specifications.
Before a product is specified, the relevant design basis, test records, application limits and supply status need to be reviewed for the project.
