This is Solite®

We judiciously select raw materials that possess unique physical characteristics to produce our high performance, rotary kiln expanded shale aggregates. The extreme heat makes our unique shale raw material expand and bloat creating a new ceramic product that is both stronger than common shale and 30% lighter by volume.

Northeast Solite Rotary Kiln
Saugerties, NY

In our manufacturing process, kiln temperatures of 2100°F are carefully maintained and monitored. Our lightweight aggregate is then cooled and sized to ASTM (C330 and C331) and other customer specification.
