VOLCANIC LAPILLUS

Product catalog summary

Volcanic Lapillus for Gardening Nursery

Composition: The product is composed of alveolar lapillus with open cells, primarily a magmatic effusive mineral from the Pleistocene period. It is naturally calcined at high temperatures, making it porous, insulating, and lightweight.

Product Features: The lapillus is a finished product with a soft texture, free from toxic substances and weed seeds. It supports frequent lawn use, up to 500 hours per year.

Ideal Uses: It is suitable for growing substrates, drained underground for sports fields, clay court stabilization, mulching, compost preparation, cultures outside the ground, thermal and acoustic insulation, and ground amendment.

Physical and Chemical Properties: Water retention is between 8-13% in volume, water availability is 6-9% in volume, and pH is 7-8. It is free of active limestone and non-toxic (silica-free). The chemical composition includes SiO2, Al2O3, K2O, Fe2O3, CaO, Na2O, TiO2, MgO, and P.F.

Functional Properties: Recommended for drainage in lawns, sports organizations, and building technologies. It meets DIN, STRI, and USGA standards for various drainage purposes.

Available Types and Sizes: The product is available in different grain sizes and densities, ranging from sand (0-3 mm) to gravel (20-70 mm). It is available unpacked, in big bags, and in 33-liter bags packed on pallets.

Construction Plans for Sports Fields:

Scheme 1: Involves filling with pumice sand or Vulcamix, mixing with volcanic sands, top dressing with Vulcasoil, and sowing or mounting turf.
Scheme 2: Similar to Scheme 1 but includes deep coring with a vertidrain machine.
Scheme 3: New construction with double drained and rooted layers, using gravel of volcanic lapillus and Vulcasoil.
Scheme 4: New construction with a drainage trench system, using volcanic lapillus or Vulcamix and Vulcasoil.

Note: The mineral is a natural raw material, and all data are approximate without warranty.
