Laterlite Latermix Beton 1400 : Bagged Structural Lightweight Concre
LATERMIX BETON 1400 : BAGGED STRUCTURAL LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRE
LATERMIX BETON 1400 : BAGGED STRUCTURAL LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRE
Latermix Beton 1400 is bagged structural lightweight concrete, with a compressive strength of 25 MPa which, thanks to the Laterlite Expanded Clay content as a substitute for traditional aggregates, allows a weight reduction of at least 1000 kg (1 tonne) per m3, with a density of 1400 kg/m3 compared to 2400/2500 kg/m3 of a traditional concrete, i.e. 40% lighter, very useful in renovation and in the construction of lightweight structures(wood, steel, etc.).
INFORMATION
APPARENT PACKED DENSITY
1.150 kg/m3
DENSITY (EN 206-1)
1.400 kg/m3 (classe D 1,5)
THERMAL
Thanks to its low thermal conductivity compared to traditional concrete, Latermix Béton 1400 is also an “Insulating Structural Concrete” bagged, very useful to avoid thermal bridges in the building envelope.
MIXTURE
Based on special expanded clay, with a medium / fine grain size, Latermix Béton 1400 is ready for casting on site, after mixing with only water, and with a simple and traditional method of application.

APPLICATIONS
- Strengthening and stiffening loadbearing masonry (edge beams, columns, etc.)
- Reducing thermal bridging in the structural elements of a building envelope
- New structural floors (steel + concrete or timber + concrete composite floors, concrete floor slabs, etc.)
- Structurally strengthening existing floors (in timber, steel, or concrete) by means of the composite floor construction
CHARACTERISTICS
LIGHTWEIGHT
Latermix Beton 1400 contains Laterlite Expanded Clay as a replacement for traditional aggregates that significantly reduces weight by at least 1,000 kg (1 tonne) per m3 . It has a density of 1400 kg/m3 (as opposed to 2400/2500 kg/m3 of an ordinary concrete) and is classified as an LWAC (lightweight aggregate concrete). It is particularly suitable for reconstruction work, for strengthening existing structures, or to prevent excessive loading in seismic zones.
INSULATING CHARACTERISTICS
Its lambda (λ -thermal conductivity) is 4,5 times lower than that of an ordinary concrete (λ = 0.42 W/mK as opposed to 1.9 W/mK). It reduces thermal bridging, increases the energy efficiency of buildings, and prevents the development of building pathologies such as condensation and mould.
STRUCTURAL STRENGTH
Latermix Beton 1400 is a true structural concrete of class LC 20/22 (Rck 25 MPa – 250 kg/cm2 ) that can be used for loadbearing structures compliant with EN 206 and Eurocode 2.
RELIABLE PERFORMANCE
The binder dosage and grading curve of the components are factory checked and maintained constant. Using only water for the mix means that the performance of the completed component can be controlled effectively; this is particularly important for guaranteeing strength in structural applications and eliminates the risk and inaccuracy associated with products mixed on site.
NON-COMBUSTIBLE
This is a 100% mineral non-combustible product (Euroclass fire rating – A1) that is safe, including in the presence of fire.
HIGH YIELD AND TRANSPORT EFFICIENCY
Lightweight means increased efficiency in both product yield and transport, allowing 60% more volume of Latermix 1400 concrete to be mixed on site compared to the same weight of traditional dry concrete.
In terms of performance, only 47 bags of Latermix Béton 1400 are needed to produce 1 m³ of in-situ concrete, compared to 80 25 kg bags for a dry concrete of ordinary aggregates.
