FAQ

1.  How lightweight is Bemes clays compare with natural clays and soil?

  Bemes Expanded clay has a density from 250-550 kg/m3 for a size of 0-20mm, that is  1/3 lighter than Natural clays. Further, Bemes clays also meet the American standard requirement such as ASTM C330, C331,C332…
 

2. How is the Bemes Clay produced?

Bemes clays is formed into round shape as size of 0-20mm and then fired in rotary kilns at 1200°C. This causes the clay to expand inside, like popcorn, and containing a large number of tiny non-connecting cells or pockets.
 

3. Bemes concrete Compressive strength specimens?

  Under a laboratory test, Bemes clays gain the Strenght from 100-450 kg/cm2 similar to normal concrete.

4. What is the benefit of Bemes in Construction?

  Bemes reduces 40-50% a construction weight on foundation, faster building time, saving on labour cost…while still have the same comprehensive strength as normal concrete. Therefore, It will open a horizon of creativity for an architecture and builder.

5. Why Bemes concrete is stable in fire condition?

  Because, Bemes has been produced in rotary kiln at temperature of 1200 C.  
 

6.What is the advantage of Bemes in Construction?

  Bemes is Light weight and high compressive strength, High thermal insulation , Strength and resistance , Fire resistance, Frost resistance… Moreover, Bemes clays could use similarly in mix ing proportion as normal clay and saving a total cost of building.

Bemes has been used stabely  in many construction projects  and frequently changing climate environment.
 

7. Why could I save money with Bemes products?

Bemes concrete is 50% lighter than normal concrete that is help to reduce a 25% total cost  for the whole projects. Morever, Bemes products could save on the cost of indoor climate control, cost of foundation and cost of frame structure.
