Usage

Description

Pumice Stone, also known as pumice, is a highly porous igneous rock that is light and full of cavities due to expanding gases that were liberated from solution in the lava while it solidified. It is usually acid (siliceous) in composition, insoluble in water, and not attacked by acids. Pumice is often light enough to float on water and has a glassy texture, containing 67-75% SiO2 and 10-20% Al2O3, with potassium, sodium, and calcium generally present.

Uses

Used in Construction Industry:
Pumice Stone is used as a concrete aggregate for its lightweight and porous properties, which contribute to better insulation and reduced weight in construction projects.
