Laterlite LECA® - Расширенная глина
LECA® is theexpanded clay suitable for substrates, roofing, filling, lightening, insulation and concrete construction.
Leca® is a lightweight aggregate which, thanks to its cellular structure enclosed in a clinkerised bark, optimises the relationship between weight and strength. Its use is extremely interesting in the construction of thermal insulation due to its certified low thermal conductivity value (λ = 0.09 W/mk).
Leca® is a lightweight aggregate that does not contain organic materials or their derivatives. It does not rot, does not degrade over time, is resistant to acids, bases and solvents and retains its properties. When subjected to frost, it does not crack or soak. It is practically an eternal material. It is non-combustible (Euroclass A1). The origin of the product, together with an environmentally friendly production process, allows the Leca® expanded clay lightweight aggregate to be an eco-friendly product and ANAB-ICEA certified for green building applications.
ADVANTAGES
Lightweight
Leca® is a lightweight aggregate which, thanks to its cellular structure enclosed in a clinkerised bark, optimises the relationship between weight and resistance.
Thermal insulation
Leca® is insulating and does not deteriorate over time. Its use is extremely interesting in the construction of permanent thermal insulation due to its low λ-value of thermal conductivity.
Fire resistant
Leca® has "Euroclass A1" and is classified as non-combustible. Clinkerised at 1,200 °C it is virtually indestructible even against the most disastrous fires. It is used as a raw material for fire-resistant or refractory products.
Compression-resistant
Thanks to its compact and crushproof outer skin, Leca® has excellent compressive strength. With a low dosage of cement, Leca® granules are bonded together, resulting in lightweight concretes suitable for bearing loads on non-structural building substrates and components (floors, partitions, ballasting). Leca® Strutturale is used to produce lightweight structural concrete in accordance with the law.
Acoustic insulation
The cellular and porous structure of Leca® contributes to good noise absorption: ideal for soundproofing and sound-absorbing structures such as road and rail barriers.
Easily workable
Leca® binds well with cement and is easily mixed in normal concrete mixers. Leca® products are nailable and sawable.
Inalterable and durable
Leca® contains no organic materials or their derivatives. It does not rot or degrade over time, even under extreme temperature or humidity conditions. It withstands acids, bases and solvents well and retains its properties. When subjected to frost, it does not crack or soak. It is, in practice, an eternal material.
Natural and ecological
Leca® does not contain or emit free silica, fibrous substances, Radon gas or other harmful materials, even in the event of fire. It is an ecological and natural product. Ecobiocompatible Leca® is certified by Anab-ICEA for Bioarchitecture and has obtained the relevant environmental product declaration EPD. Laterlite is a member of GBC Italia (Leed Certification).
