Effective & proven replacement for "microbeads" ("microbeads" are now prohibited by the Microbead-Free Waters Act of 2015). Mother Nature manufactured the properties of Pumice also making it: cost effective chemically inert environmentally safe negligible enviromental impact not a carbon footprint source, even at eventual disposal or consumption does not unbalance nature Also known as Amorphous Aluminum Silicate or Volcanic Glass. Chemically benign & abundant, minimally processed with a very low carbon footprint. Pumice is a naturally calcined volcanic glass foam consisting of highly vesicular strands of permeated with tiny air bubbles making this Pumice highly porous allowing it to hold both water & air. These frothy, friable glass vesicles afford pumice its unique & infinitely useful qualities. Pumice's hardness property (see the General Physical Properties below) allows this Pumice to maintain its structure, the particles remain sharp-edged when processed to even a sub-micron size. All Pumice is not created equal. This Pumice is mined in an evironmentally low-impact method & is naturally low in impurities. Pumice is a non-botanical, sustainable, gentle exfoliant that has been used successfully for years. When composted, Pumice is the sustainable product that keeps giving by providing aereation, structure, & assisting the soild hold nitrogen, moissture, & other nutrients. USES: Cosmetic & Personal Care Industry - Popular in heavy-duty hand soaps (such as auto shop hand soaps), shower & body gels, as well as in facial & foot scrubs. The low specific gravity & tiny air bubbles making the Pumice light weight, it tends to remain suspended depending on the viscosity of the product in which the Pumice is suspended. Heavier granules will settle, clump, require stirring/agitation, or even a last-minute sprinkle-in application, whihc is not preferred. Polishing, Abrasive, & Exfoliating Applications - The friable pumice particles fracture & remain sharp-edged which render pumice ideal for finishing glass, metal, wood, leather, & plastics. It also makes an excellent tumbling media (i.e. small parts like buttons, textiles, stone-washed denim jeans. Filtration Media - The vesicular strands structure filter impurities Horticulture Industry - Vesicular strands hold air & water critical to the best soil. Used in potting medias, garden soils, & on sports turfs & golf greens. Release Agent - very popular in gold leaf applications, used to prevent sticky of rubber &
