Properties of Lightweight Block Made with TXI ES&C
Fire Rating Performance of Lightweight CMU Using TXI ES&C
You can be sure that TXI ES&C lightweight aggregate will hold up under extreme fire temperatures and enable the masonry to protect fire fighters, occupants, and property. After all, it has been mined from the earth itself and fired in rotary kilns at temperatures exceeding 2000°F (1000C). There is nothing left to burn in our aggregate – no “loss on ignition” (LOI) that could occur in other types of lightweight aggregates. Recovered from structural grade ES&C manufacturing processes, you can feel safe and secure with masonry utilizing TXI ES&C as its primary aggregate constituent.
