Technical purpose The EPD describes results for production of lightweight expanded clay aggregate in bags of 50 liters, labelled Leca® 10-20 Coated, from the factory in Hinge, Denmark. Each pallet has 20 bags of 50L of Leca® 10-20 Coated which makes up 1 m3 of Leca® 10-20 Coated per pallet.
Lightweight expanded clay aggregate is a granular ceramic material made from natural clay (see process information below). The main characteristic of expanded clay is low density combined with high strength. Leca® 10-20 Coated is used in lightweight blocks and slabs, insulation fill, water treatment, lightweight fillings and geotechnical fills for thermal and sound insulation purposes. Thus Leca® 10-20 Coated is typically hidden in buildings or cast into concrete. The density of Leca® 10-20 Coated is 0,245 tonnes per m3. The thermal insulation is 0,095 W/mK. Further information or explanatory material may be obtained by contacting Leca Danmark A/S. The water content of the Leca® 10-20 Coated is 0 % when the Leca® 10-20 Coated is produced and packed in bags of 50 liters at Leca Danmark A/S Hinge. The storage conditions can change the water content of the Leca® 10-20 Coated up to 25%.
Different waste are recovered in the production process both as fuels as clay additives. See additional Tech info.
Leca® 10-20 Coated is produced by using nearby clay and transported by using a conveyer belt to the factory. |
