AAC Blocks & Bricks are Outdated PROBLEM WITH LEGACY MATERIALS AAC Blocks & Bricks are Outdated AAC Brick Higher Water Absorption Higher Self Weight than AAC Can’t Hold Nails Lower Compressive Strength Hard to carve conduit Not Environmentally Friendly Plaster doesn’t stick well Up to 20% breakage

INTRODUCING ECA Expanded Clay Aggregate (ECA) is pellet structure rounded in shape and generally range in size from 0-30mm.

ECA is produced by firing natural clay at temperature of 1200°C. WHAT MAKES IT A WONDER MATERIAL ECA is produced by firing natural clay at temperature of 1200°C.

WHAT MAKES IT A WONDER MATERIAL The result is a hard, honeycombed structure of interconnecting voids within the aggregate
