Description :

Overview of Pumice

Pumice is a naturally occurring volcanic inorganic mineral widely used in construction, abrasives, surface finishing, filtration, and industrial manufacturing. It is formed when volcanic lava rich in gases cools rapidly, creating a highly porous and lightweight structure. While pumice is not a single compound, the pumice chemical formula is generally represented as a complex aluminosilicate, primarily composed of SiO₂ (silicon dioxide) with alumina and trace metal oxides.

From a structural standpoint, pumice has a highly porous, vesicular structure that gives it low density, high surface area, and excellent abrasive properties. Industrial pumice typically appears as a light grey to off-white granular powder or stones, depending on grade and application. Its hardness, thermal stability, and chemical inertness make it suitable for long-term industrial use.
