The Hess Pumice Products promise is to consistently produce and ship top quality product “On Spec, On Time”.

We maintain a stock of all standard grades and in most cases can ship orders from our warehouse immediately, thus reducing order lead times. Orders for non-stocking grades require only a two-week lead time. We also have stocking distributors in various locations across the nation and in many foreign countries, allowing us to service the customer in a timely manner.
