Properties Mean compressive strength not less than 3.6N/mm²
Designed thermal conductivity (λ) 0.15W/mK
Specified gross dry density 600kg/m³
*Only available in 100mm thickness with a compressive strength of 3N/mm²
** Block weights are calculated using specified gross dry density, with a moisture content of 3% by weight added to provide the equilibrium value.
