Is ECA ® or expanded clay aggregate used for wall plastering?

Extremely small ECA ® (Expanded Clay Aggregate) granules can be used as part of wall plaster, with a number of unique and beneficial effects. First, ECA ® has a unique, textured finish when used with wall plaster, which lends a unique appearance to the project.

It also is very thermally-efficient, with a low thermal conductivity coefficient, which helps increase energy-efficiency in both residential and commercial buildings, and it’s heat-resistant, and will not melt or deform when exposed to fire. ECA ® is also highly sound-absorptive, making it ideal in buildings where echoes or other loud noises are not desirable, such as libraries, building lobbies, and other such applications.
