Description:
Pumice is a extrusive igneous rock that is a light yellowish gray. It is very light and can float on water.
Pumice is a very light colored, frothy volcanic rock that is formed from lava that is full of gas. During an eruption the lava is ejected and shot through the air . As the lava hurtles through the air it cools and the gases escape leaving the rock full of holes. This makes the rock very light, so light it can float on water
Silicon dioxide= 70.5%
Aluminum oxide= 13.5%
1) Approximately 16 different granulations available from a very coarse granule (4.75 mm and finer) to a very fine powder (45 microns and finer)
2) Two new low micron grades were recently added:
a) “Micro-Fine 5” which has a d90 of 5µm and
b) ”Micro-Fine 10” which has a d90 of 10µm.
3) These two low micron grades were developed for
applications in the following industries: micro-abrasive, anti-blocking, protein absorbent, refining agent, moisture scavengers, catalyst carrier, tableting aids, cosmetics, diazo paper, printing ink, PVC compounds, micro-fine filler, pigment, micro-fine pozzolan, etc.
