Pumice Applications
Pumice is widely used to make lightweight concrete or insulating low-density concrete blocks. When used as an additive for cement , a fine-grained version of pumice called pozzolan is mixed with lime to form a light-weight, smooth, plaster-like concrete.
It is also used as an abrasive, especially in polishes, pencil erasers, cosmetic exfoliants and the production of printed circuit boards. "Pumice stones" are often used in beauty salons during the pedicure process to remove dry and excess skin from the bottom of the foot.
Finely ground pumice powder is added to some toothpastes and heavy-duty hand cleaners as a mild abrasive. Pumice powder is recommended for glass, mirror and crystal polishing. Pumice is a very effective tumbling media for industrial components, deodorant rollers, golf balls, plastic dice/toys, buttons & jewellery, silver cutlery, pewter mugs etc.
Both pumice powder and pumice grains are ideal compounds to remove stubborn stains and polish the surface. In car polish to remove old wax build-up and polish the painted surface pumice is proven. Also pumice powder is used widely as a filler and conditioner for rubber rollers.
Many of our principles operate to internationally accepted quality standards including ISO9001 and ISO22000. The pumice aggregates supplied are produced in accordance with EN 13055-1:2003 (Lightweight aggregates for concrete, mortar and grout).
