The base material is the sediment of Jura age clay that is opencast mined. After careful preparation it is grinded into powder and then granulated to spheres. The granulated clay spheres gets into a rotary kiln where it is heated to 1200 degrees Celsius.
Liatech will introduce you to this environmental friendly, modern building material.
Liapor is a rotary kiln expanded clay aggregate.
This revolutionary material has many benefits:
* Environmental friendly
* High strength
* high thermal and sound isolating capabilities
* resistant to acids and bases
* non-permeable, won't mold
* fireproof acc. DIN4102 - A1 fire resistancy class
* not sensitive to moisture and frost
* does not expand or shrink
* biologically tested, hygienical
* fulfills preconditions of modern architecture
