grow bed 8-16mm size leca expanded clay balls for aquaponic gradeners

Product Description

Expanded Clay, It is also known as Light Expanded Clay Aggregate, or LECA, it is made from the best qualities pure clay at average 1200 degree in rotary kiln,

guaranteeing absence of heavy metals or other contaminates.

the Yielding gases are expanded by thousands of small bubbles as long as this temperature and porosity will appear by many voids and honeycombs

at these round shape aggregates when melted materials become cold. This causes the clay to expand inside, like popcorn, and become porous.

The porous structure has a high water capacity and is suitable for both flood & drain and top irrigation systems.

Expanded clay is a popular medium for both aquaponic and hydroponic gardening around the world.

Functions

Expanded Clay Application:

Why expanded clay is the first choice for aquaponics systems?

Expanded Clay is made of natural clay and burned at average 1200 degree in the kilns, The firing process removes all excess organic materials. It is safe for plants and fish.
Expanded clay is pH neutral and completely inert, does not contain any nutrient, excellents capillary action qualities
Excellents great aeration and drainage and acts as a water reservoir
Records high and low points for both termperature and humidityClean, odor-free
It offers excellent moisture and oxygen capacity to stimulate healthy root development.
it offers superior properties that enhance the growth of plants and the health of the fish.
Size specification is 8-16mm, the ideal round shape is easy on hands
reusable, It can be used and reused for many years

Other Application:

Hydroponics Aquaponics	Expanded Clay is chemically neutral and ensures air penetration to plant roots. At the same time, fungal spores, bacteria and insect pests are avoided.
Insulation	Expanded Clay is used for making solid blocks and hollow blocks of lightweight concrete.
Light Fill	LECA lightweight concrete can be used for filling purpose and in areas where form stability is also essential.
Roof Gardens	Bulk Expanded Clay particle can be used in roof gardens for drainage purposes and for constructing and eliminating slopes.
Structural Concrete	Expanded Clay as the aggregate, structural concrete can be fabricate in strengths of up 45Mpa and the density is less than 1950kg/M3.
Cleaning Filter	Expanded Clay can be used for water treatment, Bio-filter Media in sewage disposal
