What is Lecat?
LECAT is a material produced by expanding specially qualified clays at a temperature of 1100°C. Production of an expanded lightweight clay aggregate began in Kansas City in 1917. It entered first into the standards of the United States and then into the standards of Europe. Lecat is a lightweight building element, allowing higher and more earthquake-resistant structures to be constructed with the same weight.
LECAT structures are used as heat and sound insulation, drainage, soil pressure reduction and filler material.

LECAT is an ideal material used in greenhouses, vegetable cultivation, seedlings, floristry, landscaping and hydroponic agriculture. LECAT grains have a large air gap in them, so they keep a high rate of air and water permeability in the soil. It reduces water loss by evaporation from the soil. It does not carry diseases. pH 6.5
LECAT is known in the world as hydroton, keramzit, light expanded clay, exclay, blaehton, haydite, expanded clay, hydroculture stone, hydroton, clay ball. Cooked, expanded clay is a type of aggregate that is also used in Hydroponic systems. Our company was founded in 2013 to produce light aggregate in Turkey under the name (Light Expanded Clay Aggregate Turkey) LECAT after many years of work.
