## Overview

Urban Farm™ Hydrotons are lightweight expanded clay aggregates designed for hydroponics and aquaponics. Made from 100% natural clay, they ensure optimal drainage and oxygen levels for plant roots while maintaining structural integrity to prevent clogging in irrigation systems. Available in sizes ranging from 2-8 mm, these aggregates come in convenient 3, 5, and 20-liter bags, making them a versatile choice for any growing setup.

## Description

Expanded clay aggregates are porous ceramic products with a uniform pore structure of fine, closed cells and with a densely sintered, firm external skin. It is manufactured in rotary kilns from raw materials containing clay minerals. The raw material is prepared, moulded and then subjected to a firing process at temperatures of between 1100 and 1200 ºC, resulting in a significant increase in volume due to expansion. The LECA grains internal cellular structure with thousands of air-filled cavities gives thermal and sound insulation properties.

## Features

- Made from 100% natural clay, extremely stable in both pH and EC. Clay naturally has balanced capillary action
- Drains freely and does not hold excess water, provides good oxygen levels around the root; suitable for flood and drain systems, multi-pot and drip feed systems
- Strong structural integrity means that they are less likely to break and compact, which helps to prevent dripper systems from getting blocked
- Hydroton/LECA size ranges from 2-8 mm
- This listing is for 3, 5 & 20 Liters of Hydrotons in bag. Contact us if any questions please.
