ESCS lightweight aggregates contain a uniformly distributed system of pores that have a size range of approximately 5 to 300μm, developed in a continuous, relatively crack-free, high-strength vitreous phase. Pores close to the surface are readily permeable and fill with water within the first few hours to a few days of exposure to moisture.
