Lightweight Aggregate Concrete
Lightweight aggregate concrete can be produced using a variety of lightweight aggregates. Lightweight aggregates originate from either: Natural materials, like volcanic pumice. The thermal treatment of natural raw materials like clay, slate or shale i.e. Leca. Manufacture from industrial by-products such as fly ash, i.e. Lytag. Processing of industrial by-products such as pelletised expanded slab, i.e. Pellite.
