Other Lightweight Aggregate Applications
            
     The superior qualities of structural lightweight aggregate are effective and economical
 in many other applications.  Examples include wood floor topping, bagged concrete
 mixture, cement wallboard, artificial stone, concrete rooftile, refractory concrete, phosphorous
 removal, subsurface flow wetlands, traction grit, grog, insulating fill and many, many more.
