Pumice Concrete is a low density, lightweight, low-rise structural concrete using 3/8 pumice aggregate, Portland cement, and water. (a pozzolan lime plaster is ideal), further improving the thermal performance of the structure.
Pumice stone utilization in Agriculture farming gives great results, it is very beneficial for the growth, health and productivity of the plants.
Pumice Stone Cement Grade:
Pumice and cement enjoy a very dynamic relationship—a relationship Roman engineers and builders relied on completely. A relationship that worked so well that much of their empire of concrete endures to this day—some 2000 years later. Fact is, the hydrated lime cement they used made a poor concrete by itself. It was only after they added fine-grained pumice [01] (what they called pozzolana), did their concrete achieve its impressive millennia-spanning chemistry.
