Pumice stone is perfect material for water filtration :
. Plentiful empty space, large surface area
. Resistant to chemicals, doesn't harm human beings nor to the environment, agriculture and environmental sectors.
. It is a technical and ecological alternative filter media to quartz sand, anthracite and expanded clay for the water industry.

Thanks to lightweight and heat and sound insulation characteristics of the aggregates , the main applications areas :

Lightweight Masonnery Blocks : From 350 kg/m³ to 1.000 kg/m³. The thermal insulation from: 0.12 W/m.k t

Lightweight Concrete : Densities from 1000 kg/m³ to 1.750 kg/m³ respectively with strength from 5MPa to 25 MPa

Lightweight Mortar : Densities : 330 kg/m³, lambda value : 0,071 W/mK

Pumice is ideal growing medium for plants. It includes more than 70 % empty space. This allows the storage of water, useful chemicals and minerals. It reduces the need for irrigation, fertilizers and saves water depending usage. BIOSUBSTANCE can be used as a plant growing substrate in any environment, with or without soil, in greenhouses or outdoors.

For wetlands: provides drainage of excess water in wetlands. Prevents drowning of plant roots.
