3. AGGREGATES USED FOR LIGHT-WEIGHT CONCRETE.
    
          The aggregates used to manufacture light-weight concrete should have a high level or porosity, and a low density. Because of their origen they are classified into two groups. natural and artificial

Natural aggregates:

These aggregates are generaly from volcanic nature. For example: Pumice, scoria, volcanicashes and diatomite


Artificial aggregates:

There are many commercial names and brands that offer artificial aggregates, but the best classification is based in the raw materials used to elaborate them: glas, wood, Polystyrene, aluminium, etc.

fits into the Polystytene classification, and out performs the other within and out of its classification by providing the best overal results quality and properties.
