This latest development comes in response to market demand and weighing just 390 kg/m³, the JM 23-400 is the lightest class 23 product manufactured by Morgan to date. Furthermore, it is cast-produced and offers, on average, about 10 percent lower thermal conductivity compared to standard bricks in the JM 23 range, making it ideal for applications where a high level of insulation is required.

Suited to exactly the same applications as its JM-23 counterparts, the JM23-400 has been proven to significantly reduce energy consumption, and can be used in conjunction with Blakite or JM 2600 to secure joints. Furthermore, it comes in a range of sizes, with options available to suit virtually any application.
