PUMICE STONE

While Pakistan is not a major producer of Pumice Stone, it is possible to find limited quantities of this volcanic rock within the country, often imported from other regions. Pumice stone is a lightweight, porous material with abrasive properties.

In Pakistan, pumice stone is primarily used for:

• Construction: It can be used as a lightweight aggregate in concrete and insulation materials.
• Beauty: Pumice stone is commonly used as an exfoliant in skincare products and for removing calluses from the feet.
• Industrial Applications: Pumice stone can be used as an abrasive in polishing and cleaning processes.

Due to the limited availability of pumice stone within Pakistan, it is often imported to meet domestic demand, particularly for industrial and personal care applications.
