Due to its particular and varied attributes, Lytag® LWA is extremely versatile and can be used for a wide range of other applications.
Arrestor beds
Lytag® LWA does not compact over time, so runaway vehicles will always sink into the bed allowing drag forces to stop them safely and with minimal damage. Lytag® LWA is ideal for roadside, airport
runway, race circuit and dockside arrestor beds.
Filter media
Aqualyt® filter media is an ideal material for use in biological filter systems where a bacterial film has to anchor and develop.
Roof tiles
Specially crushed and blended grades of Lytag® LWA allow roof tile manufacturers to maximise strength and density, producing lighter units to reduce costs and dead load.
Sportag® - for sports surfaces and play areas
Sportag® is a specially developed grading of Lytag® LWA, which, when incorporated into proprietary designed systems remains solid enough for running on, but soft enough to minimise injury
or impact on falling.
Hortag® - a growing medium
Hortag® is a special type of Lytag® LWA which can rapidly absorb up to 15% of its own weight when immersed in water. Water is then released over time to provide a controlled environment.
Refractory
Lytag® LWA has excellent thermal insulation properties and is a Class 1 fire resistant aggregate.
Pipe bedding
Lytag® LWA is used for pipe bedding with drainage systems as required in
specifications such as EN 1610 and the Highways Specification.
