How can we learn about using Leca in the best appropriate way?
Leca technical office experienced enough to play a consultative role to support our clients technically.
What are general usages of Leca?
Leca is used in: construction Road infrastructure Agriculture Filtration, water treatment, sewage system Off shore and on shore development. Leca can be used for other applications due to its each single specification.
What are the notable economical benefits of using Leca?
Saving structure cost due to Leca lightness. Saving energy for insulating feature. Accelerate the project period for being able to use larger lightweight concrete units. Minimizing waste material (Maximum 2%). Increasing labor productivity.
What is chemical behavior of Leca on other adjoining constructional materials?
Due to neutral pH of Leca (7-7.2), Leca does not affect or be affected by other materials, and even preserves materials intact from chemical hazards.
Is Leca block fire resistance?
Yes. Referring to tests conducted by Department of Building and Energy. Technologies of Kuwait (according to the BA 476), lightweight concrete block, does not catch fire.
Is Leca a fire resistance material?
Yes, as it is produced in some 1100°c in rotary kiln with ceramic shell, it does not catch fire.
Is Leca Aggregate a sound insulating material?
Yes, it is. It remarkably fades the sound, however it depends on thickness of wall and mix design of Leca concrete.
What is thermal conductivity coefficient for Leca Aggregate?
Thermal conductivity coefficient for Leca Aggregate is about 0.09< λ < 0.101
How long we can keep Leca in store?
Due to Leca physical characteristics, it remains unchanged consistently.
What are the advantages of using Leca in construction?
Thermal & sound insulation Lightness Durability Fire resistances Neutral pH consistent Quality Environment- Friendly For more information, please refer to Properties
