| description | Pumice quarried by LAVA MINING & QUARRYING SA from Yali island, Dodecanese, is used, domestically and abroad, in applications such as concrete lightweight aggregate, masonry units constituent, road substrate, and loose soil stabilization. It is a porous natural volcanic rock with low density, low thermal and noise transmission, and higher strength among all the natural or artificial lightweight materials of mineral origin. Nowadays, pumice is of additional interest, as it has a reduced CO<sub>2</sub> footprint because thermal energy is not required for its expansion compared with artificial lightweight aggregates. In this context, HERACLES Group is launching a new product in the market under the brand name MASTER FLOOR<sup>®</sup>, a commercial bagged product for floor or wall fillings with lightweight and insulating properties. |
