The shape of ceramsite varies with different processes. Its surface is hard shell, ceramic or enamel, which has the function of isolating water and gas and giving ceramsite high strength.
Because there are many raw materials for producing ceramsite, there are many varieties of ceramsite, so there are many colors. Most of the fired ceramsite colors are dark red and ochre, and some special varieties are grayish yellow, grayish black, grayish white and cyan gray. Non-burning ceramsite has different colors because of the different solid wastes used.
Use:
Ceramsite concrete has been widely used in various prefabricated components and cast-in-place concrete projects in industrial and civil buildings. Ceramsite can also be used as other building materials such as pipeline insulation, cold preservation, sound insulation and sound absorption. It can also be used as soilless bed material and water filtering material in agriculture and gardens.
Because ceramsite has a special structure of porosity, light weight and high surface strength, it can meet the needs of plants for moisture and air permeability when applied to landscaping and indoor greening, especially its dust-free and light weight characteristics have been increasingly applied to indoor ornamental plants.
