Utelite is an expanded shale product used in structural lightweight mixes. It is very similar to Hydrolite in regards to pumpability. Needs to be kept wet. We have pumped a couple of decks with Utelite aggregate in the mix up 5 stories and through 200' of 3.5" system with no problem. Keep an eye on your slumps going in and coming out.
