	Light weight manufactured sand products
	Light weight Aerolite aggregate has many other advantages due to its light weight vesicular nature: Very high volume yield and hence low cost Is strong and extremely durable Easily spread, Good moisture rentention Excellent as a filter material

Typical PARTICLE DENSITY AND WATER ABSORPTION – 14mm Aerolite Aggregate (as per AS 141.5)

AEROLITE LIGHTWEIGHT AGGREGATE Basaltic, or heavyweight aggregate has a specific gravity of 2.7–2.9 and a density of approximately 2610 kgs per cubic meter. Aerolite’s aggregate is less than half this density and when used in place of heavier stone OFTEN MEANS THAT ONLY HALF THE TONNAGE NEEDS TO BE PURCHASED FOR THE SAME VOLUME YIELD D
	Un-compacted Bulk Density as per dry basis	0.77 Tonne/M3
	Apparent Particle Density	1.92 Tonne/M3
	Dry Particle Density	1.51 Tonne/M3
	Saturated Surface Dry Particle Density	1.72 Tonne/M3
	Water Absorption	12.3 %
