A Closer Look at the Technology Behind ECA®
Our material is the result of decades of research and practical innovation. It is created from natural clay that is expanded at high temperatures to yield a lightweight yet robust aggregate. Its unique formation process delivers a product that is as versatile as it is reliable.
- Chemical Stability means that ECA® remains unaffected by reactive chemical elements. It ensures a consistent performance in various environmental conditions so that your project can withstand harsh climates and chemical exposures with ease.
- Non-reactivity implies that ECA® does not interact with other substances. This guarantees that the aggregate remains inert over time and does not alter the surrounding materials or environment.
- Corrosion Resistance signifies that ECA® resists degradation from corrosive agents. This property ensures that your construction remains strong and durable even when exposed to challenging environmental factors.
- Bulk Density refers to the material’s light weight ranging between 200 and 800 kg per cubic meter. This allows for easier handling and installation without sacrificing structural integrity.
- Compressive Strength indicates the ability of ECA® to endure pressure. With values between 0.6 and 3.0 N per mm², it provides the necessary support and durability for critical applications such as landfill liners and foundations.
