LEGÉRIO® is formulated with selected expanded polystyrene, which provides high thermal insulating power and low specific weight compared to ordinary concrete with a weight of approximately 2,400 kg/m3. Thanks to its characteristics, it can be pumped and processed easily and quickly, making it suitable for numerous applications. The versatility of LEGÉRIO® concrete is also linked to the possibility of varying some of its characteristics according to the most diverse requirements. For example, the compressive strength can be varied from 1 to 10 N/mm2 and the density from approx. 400 - 600 kg/m3 to 1000 kg/m3.
Applications
LEGÉRIO® is specific for all uses with requirements for mechanical resistance that are not high but need thermal insulation with performance similar to that of pure insulation.
Examples:
- insulation of floors, roofs and terraces
- lightened fillings of interstices
- protection of pipes
- fireproof coatings
Advantages
- high thermal insulation power, constant over time
- negligible water absorption
- simple and quick to lay and install even with normal construction site equipment
- good fire resistance
- dimensional stability
- good mechanical strength
- low static load effects on structure
