COMPOSITION: NATURAL EXPANDED CELLULAR MAGMATIC MINERAL Pumice is the result of the natural expansion of effusive magmatic mineral, a process that has generated an extremely lightweight alveolar material with high porosity and a great water retention capacity, slowly releasing it with distinctive insulating properties. Being an entirely natural product, it is recommended and highly suitable for application in gardens or substrates where it is widely used.
PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
- Water absorption - approximately 100g water/100g pumice
- pH 7-8
- S.C.: approximately 30 milliequivalents/100g
- No active limestone
- NON-TOXIC product
FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES
A product with a slow response, lightweight, ideal, and useful in:
- Root substrate (seeding, succulent plants, cacti, azaleas, orchids, carnivorous plants, transplanting, potted crops, and hydroponic crops)
- Mixing preparations: universal garden soil, soil specific to certain plants (annuals, acidophilic, succulents, other indoor plants, etc.) either for pot planting or transplanting in the garden; preparing professional substrate or botanical gardening specific for outdoor or protected crops.
- Mulching
- Hydroponic crops
- Crops not in the garden
- Soil amendment
- As a drainage agent
- Thermal insulation
- Substrate for aquariums Thermal aggregate UNI EN 13055-1 AVERAGE CHEMICAL ANALYSIS (performed on representative samples from the quarry)
