Ceramsite Sand - Product
Ceramsite Sand
Ceramsite Sand, also known as expanded clay aggregate, is a lightweight, high-performance material produced by the thermal expansion of clay or shale in rotary kilns. This process results in a porous, spherical aggregate with excellent properties for various construction and industrial applications. Ceramsite Sand is valued for its lightweight nature, thermal insulation, and high strength-to-weight ratio.
