Norlite Corporation operates two high-temperature rotary kilns that run on recycled fuels to produce a lightweight aggregate used in bridges, buildings, specialized fill, and growing media for green roofs. This material is a porous ceramic created by expanding and vitrifying select shale in a rotary kiln, yielding a consistent, high-quality aggregate that is structurally strong, physically stable, durable, environmentally inert, light in weight and highly insulative. It is non-toxic, absorptive, dimensionally stable and will not degrade over time. It serves designers and construction markets with solutions to challenges such as reducing dead loads, lowering thermal conductivity of building products, improving fire ratings, enhancing soils, and treating wastewater. The company operates in the construction materials sector and is based in Cohoes, New York, as a small to mid-sized enterprise.
