The Natural expanded silicate is unbeatable in its eco-logical and versatile properties
Enhanced Natural expanded silicate upgrades end-products environmentally, making it user friendly and versatile.
ROTEC GmbH & Co. KG makes it possible. The company mines the mineral raw material, refines it, and supplies almost all industry branches with specific granulates.
Customers preferably use the lightweight aggregate from ROTEC, since it is a purely mineral natural product whose specific properties positively enhance each finished prod-uct and significantly improve the focus on the eco-balance of final products.
(firmenpresse) - Some 15 years ago, studies as part of the research project "Life Cycle of building materials and buildings” were un-derway by the Institute for Polymer Testing and Polymer Science (ICM) and the Institute of Construction Materials (IWB) at the University of Stuttgart. At that time, 50 com-panies and associations of the construction industry were involved: in the areas of earth and stones, insulation mate-rials and thermal insulation systems, roof, window and facade technology, heating and building services (MEP), including the professional association of the pumice and lightweight concrete industry.
Today, analogous studies and environmental declarations are issued by the Institute of Building and Environment Association (IBU). www.bau-umwelt.com
Natural expanded silicate in lightweight concrete blocks is an ecological example
As per the outcome of the past studies and calculations for the LCA according to ISO 14040, results show a primary energy consumption of around 805 MJ / m³.
For the plain "expanded silicate-share" for excavation, reclamation and removal only around 150 to 200 MJ / m³ are presumed.
Holistic view
Based on technical and economic requirements the envi-ronmental impacts of products, systems or services must be analyzed and evaluated over the entire product life cy-cle. The expanded silicate as a lightweight natural product excels. It is exclusively mined in the open pit and trans-ported by truck to be processed at the Rotec plant where it is freed from impurities by sieving and rinsing. In the process, the washing plant is working with a closed water cycle.
Returned to nature
Under federal regulations that have been established over time beginning in 1949, extractions of raw materials in-cluding pumice have been strictly controlled. The law has protected the balance of ecology and the economy for over 60 years such that only suitable sites are licensed to be excavated with requisite re-cultivation of the impacted land.

Unternehmensinformation / Kurzprofil:
ROTOCELL
Under the brand name Rotocell Rotec sells a completely dry and ultra light weight granulate in 8 grains sizes from 0.04 to 4.0 mm and from 0.09 to 0.3 mm with a bulk den-sity of 390 kg/ m³, for example.
Current use and areas of application are: plasters, mortars, fine concretes, construction chemical products, facades and lightweight concrete panels, bulks, oil absorption sys-tems, water filters and bioreactors.
Due to many inquiries from all over the world and con-tinuous research, new applications consistently develop.
ROTOPOR
The product Rotopor are custom designed and manufac-tured plant substrate mixtures.
Material and surface condition of the naturally expanded silicate ensure a unique combination of properties: high footfall and stratification stability, absolute frost resis-tance, balanced water storage and aperture ratio. Globally active and well-known system suppliers rely on Rotopor when used for: drainage layers, leveling fill, green roofs and gardens, plant pellets, water reservoirs, filter materials and fleeces.
