Pumice

Description:

Pumice is a volcanic rock that is formed when lava cools and depressurizes rapidly, resulting in a light, porous material. Its chemical composition primarily consists of silica (SiO2), along with varying amounts of alumina (Al2O3), iron oxides (FeO and Fe2O3), calcium oxide (CaO), sodium oxide (Na2O), and potassium oxide (K2O). The unique characteristic of pumice is its low density and high porosity, which allows it to float on water. This property is due to the numerous gas bubbles trapped within the rock during its formation. Pumice is commonly used in various applications, including as an abrasive in personal care products, in construction as a lightweight aggregate, and in horticulture to improve soil aeration and drainage. Additionally, its porous nature makes it effective for filtration and as a natural exfoliant. Pumice is non-toxic and environmentally friendly, making it a versatile material in both industrial and consumer products.

Pumice stone

Controlled Product

CAS: 1332-09-8

Pumice stone is a volcanic rock that has been used for centuries to clean and polish skin. The porous surface of the pumice stone absorbs fatty esters from skin cells, which are then hydrolyzed by hydrochloric acid. This process produces an oil-rich water that is rich in fatty acids, proteins, and other skin nutrients. The resulting water can be used to treat wastewater or as a source of organic matter for soil enrichment. Pumice stones have also been shown to be effective in removing viruses from surfaces, such as herpes simplex virus from surfaces.
