Product Description

Expanded Clay (Also named Hydro Clay balls, leca, Light Weight Expanded Clay Aggregate, Red Clay Balls) is made from 100% pure natural clay at average 1200 degree in rotary kiln,

the Yielding gases are expanded by thousands of small bubbles as long as this temperature and porosity will appear by many voids and honeycombs

at these round shape aggregates when melted materials become cold, the end product is pH neutral, doesn't degrade and is autoclavable.

What's the benefits of expanded clay pebbles?

 

Using expanded clay pebbles as your grow medium in either container gardening or in a hydroponic system offers many benefits.

  • The major benefit is that expanded clay pebbles can retain more moisture.
  •  Because of the unique structure of expanded clay pebble, are porous and lightweight they can increase aeration to the plants’ root systems.
  •  Expanded clay pebbles also improve drainage which is important to maintaining the health of the root systems and preventing rot.
  •  Expanded clay pebbles are also a good medium to ensure proper support of your plants.

Other Application:

Hydroponics

Aquaponics

Expanded Clay is chemically neutral and ensures air penetration to plant roots. At the same time, fungal spores, bacteria and insect pests are avoided.

Insulation

Expanded Clay is used for making solid blocks and hollow blocks of lightweight concrete.

Light Fill

LECA lightweight concrete can be used for filling purpose and in areas where form stability is also essential.

Roof Gardens

Bulk Expanded Clay particle can be used in roof gardens for drainage purposes and for constructing and eliminating slopes.

Structural Concrete

Expanded Clay Balls as the aggregate, structural concrete can be fabricate in strengths of up 45Mpa and the density is less than 1950kg/M3.

Cleaning Filter

Expanded Clay can be used for water treatment, Bio-filter Media in sewage disposal
