SUMMARY PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS

Mix of recycled materials is transformed by physical treatment andhigh temperatures into a new material.


27/65



Mix of recycled materials is transformed by physical treatment andhigh temperatures into a new material.The original wastes are not typically detected in the product. Theyare not present in their original form in the lightweight aggregate.


28/65



Mix of recycled materials is transformed by physical treatment andhigh temperatures into a new material.The original wastes are not typically detected in the product. Theyare not present in their original form in the lightweight aggregate.The lightweight aggregate is a complex mix of amorphous andcrystalline (glass-ceramic) phases and porosity.
