What is ceramsite? Why is ceramsite used as sink pool in toilets? What is the reason?

Hello, ceramsite is a lightweight and environmentally friendly backfill material with a hard shell, a water-proof and air-proof glaze layer on the surface, and microporous ceramic granules inside. It has good physical, chemical and hydraulic properties, large specific surface area, high porosity, and strong adsorption and interception ability. Its surface is porous, angular and rough. Because of these characteristics, ceramsite is often used in the backfilling of sunken basements:

First, it is light in weight: the thickness of bathrooms with sunken design is generally 400mm~450mm; if the material The heavy weight will cause cracks in the floor slab, which is detrimental to waterproofing. The use of ceramsite takes full advantage of its light weight.

2. Moisture absorption: There are microporous ceramic particles inside the ceramsite, which can absorb moisture, which is undoubtedly beneficial to an environment like the bathroom.

3. Easy maintenance: Because it is easy to excavate, it is easier to construct than filling with other materials during maintenance.

4. In addition, ceramsite has strong adsorption and interception capabilities, good physical, chemical and hydraulic properties and other characteristics, which are suitable filling materials for bathrooms in this specific environment.
