Lytag® LWA is a versatile, lightweight aggregate produced from pulverised fuel ash (PFA), a by-product of coal-burning power stations.
A truly environmentally friendly material, Lytag® LWA provides an excellent alternative to natural, quarried aggregate, being strong, light and consistent.
Lytag® LWA can be used for many varied applications, including:
|
|
Lytag® LWA is an ideal medium for land drainage applications. Its rounded shape and regular grading give excellent hydraulic conductivity.
|
|
The weight-saving properties of Lytag® LWA can lead to significant advantages in production techniques and logistics when used in the manufacture of precast concrete.
|
|
Lytag® LWA floor and roof screeds offer a wide range of benefits including cost and weight savings in addition to considerably enhanced thermal and sound insulation.
|
|
Using Geo fill® civil engineering bulk fill either bonded (with cement) or unbonded (loose) for maximum flexibility, the free draining properties allow significant reductions in hydrostatic pressure
|
|
Structural concrete can be produced with an effective reduction in dead weight over that of normal weight concrete allowing architects and structural engineers a wider range of opportunities in design.
|
|
By combining excellent drainage and moisture retention properties, Lytag® LWA is an ideal medium for many areas of a SUDS system.
|
|
Using Hortag® horticultural medium for drainage and part of the soil/growing medium helps reduce weight and improve drainage and moisture retention properties.
|
|
Due to its particular and varied attributes, Lytag® LWA is extremely versatile and can be used for a wide range of other applications.
