All Adbri Masonry Litec® masonry products are lightweight product produced using concrete mixes that incorporate up to 85% industrial
by-products. This leads to a reduced carbon footprint from the manufacturing process and from transport of the product. Being 25 to 30% lighter
than traditional masonry products, Litec® masonry products increase productivity, reduces design dead loads and reduces handling issues.
Pallets contain more square metres reducing material handling movements and storage requirements. All Litec® masonry products have
improved fire resistance and a durability grade of Exposure as per AS4455.1.
