    Leca is an expanded clay aggregate produced through a pyro-process in a rotary kiln at temperatures up to 2000°C. This process creates internal air cavities surrounded by a hard shell in irregular round shapes. Expanded clay was first developed in 1917 in Kansas City, Missouri under the name Hyalite and has since been produced and exported to many countries from facilities in Europe and the Middle East. LECA has various specifications for properties like size, bulk density, and compressive strength depending on the grade.

    What is Leca?

    (light Expanded Clay Aggregate) is produced through pyro-process in the rotary kiln at maximum temperature of some l_2000c. yielding gases cause internal air cavities, enveloped by relatively hard shell, in the asymmetrical round shapes. Expanded clay was developed in !9!7 in Kansas City Missouri, which is known as Hyalite, and then produced in some European countries under different brand names. The first kiln was ignited in 1979 and the second one in 2005, ln these years we export to many countries such as Bahrain, lndia, South Korea, Qatar; Malaysia, Vietnam, etc.
