LECA®PIÙ - Расширенная глина
LecaPiù is the special expanded clay for moisture-sensitive floor substrates.
It 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 thanks to its certified low thermal conductivity value (λ = 0.09 W/mk).
LecaPiù does not retain moisture, its imbibition coefficient after 30 minutes of immersion is approximately 1%, and it does not contain organic materials or their derivatives.
It does not rot, it does not degrade over time, it resists acids, bases and solvents well, and it retains its characteristics unaltered. It is non-combustible (Euroclass A1). When subjected to frost, it does not crack or soak. It is in practice an eternal material.
The origin of the product, together with an environmentally friendly production process, allows LecaPiù expanded clay to be an eco-friendly product and ANAB-ICEA certified for applications in Green Building.
Fields of use
LecaPiù is suitable for all the uses of traditional Leca and especially where low moisture contents are required.
- Lightening layers of two-layer sub-bases.
- Dry floor sub-bases and lightening of single-layer screeds.
- Fillings and thick insulation layers.
- Drainage and thick ballast layers for roofs.
Advantages
Dry
Lecapiù does not retain moisture. The coefficient of imbibition after 30 minutes immersion is approx. 1%.
Pumpable
It can be pumped up with special tanker trucks or with pneumatic pumps already mixed with cement.
Lightweight
The density of 520 kg/m³ for Lecapiù 0-4, 350 kg/m³ for Lecapiù 3-8 and 320 kg/m³ for Lecapiù 8-20.
Practical
Packaged in 50 L polyethylene bags, it binds well with cement and is easy to mix in normal concrete mixers.
Thermal insulation
Thanks to its internal cellular structure, Lecapiù has low thermal conductivity. Its use is extremely attractive in the construction of durable thermal insulation.
Resistant
Thanks to its compact, non-deformable outer skin, Lecapiù has good compressive strength. With a low dosage of cement, light concretes can be produced, which are suitable for bearing loads on subfloors.
Non-combustible
Lecapiù has a fire reaction of Euroclass A1(non-combustible): the best guarantee against fire.
Ecobiocompatible
Lecapiù is certified by ANAB-ICEA for Bioarchitecture.
