LECA, or Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate, offers a versatile range of applications that are at the forefront of modern construction and various industries. LECA Technology Australia's high-quality LECA products can be tailored to meet specific density and strength requirements, making them suitable for a wide array of purposes.


In construction, LECA can be used to create sand-free large-pore, fully lightweight, super lightweight reinforced, or pre-stressed concrete, as well as various wall products and building components. It adapts seamlessly to different architectural systems, including framed fillings, self-supporting block construction, one-form-three-board systems, fully assembled large panels, in-situ casting, sliding forms, and more.


LECA's exceptional properties include low density, high compressive strength, high porosity, excellent freeze resistance, and resistance to alkali-aggregate reaction. These attributes make it ideal for lightweight, corrosion-resistant, freeze-resistant, earthquake-resistant, and excellent insulating applications. LECA can be used in construction materials, horticulture, refractory insulation materials, chemical engineering, petroleum, and beyond. It also serves as an effective material for pipeline insulation, furnace insulation, cooling insulation, sound insulation, and can even be utilized in agriculture and landscaping for soil-less bedding and filtration.


LECA Technology Australia's LECA products, especially the 1-4mm and 4-8mm super lightweight varieties, are at the forefront of international standards. This wide range of applications makes LECA an invaluable material for various industries and construction projects, offering exceptional performance and sustainability.

Construction Application

LECA Blocks

LECA Block, made with LECA, cement, and fly  ash slurry, offers lightweight, durable, and thermally insulated  construction solutions. Its inherent insulation capabilities meet energy-saving standards without additional measures. LECA Blocks are versatile for roofing insulation, internal and external walls, sound barriers, and serve as an excellent alternative to traditional clay bricks.

LECA Panels

LECA panels offer versatile acoustic solutions for various spaces. They  can be seamlessly designed for large flat decorative surfaces or crafted  into diverse shapes like waves, circles, curves, and more. These panels  find application in professional acoustic environments such as  theaters, concert halls, recording studios, as well as in educational  facilities, museums, offices, public spaces, hospitals, and industrial  areas, where sound absorption and noise reduction are essential. LECA  panels enhance acoustic quality while providing aesthetic versatility,  making them suitable for a wide range of settings requiring effective  sound management.

LECA Prefabricated Buildings - Coming Soon

Prefabricated buildings, with LECA's lightweight and high-strength  properties, offer a sustainable and efficient construction solution.  They not only reduce construction time and costs but also enhance structural integrity, fire safety, insulation, and environmental  performance, making them an ideal choice for modern, eco-conscious construction projects.

Geo-technical Application

Road

LECA asphalt concrete, comprised of LECA as coarse aggregate blended  with asphalt, fine sand or stone chips, and mineral powders, offers a  unique blend of characteristics for road construction. Its internal  microporosity reduces concrete's elastic modulus, providing a  semi-steel, semi-malleable quality that effectively dampens vibrations and reduces noise. This results in road surfaces with high friction coefficients, low noise levels, excellent skid resistance, and superior high-temperature stability, making LECA asphalt concrete an ideal choice for noise-reduced, high-performance road paving.

Railway

LECA-based railway sound-absorbing panels and noise barriers excel in  sound isolation. These LECA solutions integrate seamlessly with the overall track structure, ensuring long-term durability, effective drainage of dust, pollutants, and rainwater.

Urban Drainage

LECA, with its unique porous structure, acts as a "sponge material" in  urban drainage systems. It efficiently absorbs, stores, filters, and  releases water, contributing to the concept of "sponge cities." Its high  strength allows it to bear weight, making it an ideal material for  building resilient urban ecosystems that mitigate flood risks and  enhance water management.

Agriculture Application

Environmental Application

Environmental Application

LECA finds valuable application in agriculture as a medium for soilless  cultivation. Its porous nature and strong water-absorbing capacity make  it suitable for providing a stable growth environment for plants while  delivering nutrient solutions from the bottom. However, proper watering  and regular cleaning are essential to prevent issues like overhydration  or fungal growth, ensuring healthy plant growth in LECA-based systems.

Environmental Application

Environmental Application

Environmental Application

LECA serves as a versatile material in wastewater treatment, finding  application in high-load industrial biofilter beds for biofilm growth,  micro-polluted water sources purification, preliminary treatment in  biofilter beds, and as coarse materials in oil-containing wastewater  treatment. Its use extends to ion exchange resin layers, microbiological  drying and storage, and deep processing of drinking water, effectively  adsorbing harmful elements, bacteria, and mineralizing water quality.  With its porous nature and active properties, LECA excels as a filter  medium in water treatment, serving as an excellent biological membrane  carrier.
