Utelite Corporation is a leading brand that specializes in the production of Utelite expanded shale (ES) lightweight aggregates. These aggregates are created at their state-of-the-art facility near Salt Lake City, Utah and are delivered throughout the Western United States, Western Canada, Alaska, and Hawaii. Utelite's lightweight aggregates are known for their exceptional performance and value across a wide range of applications.

With a focus on sustainability in construction design, Utelite lightweight aggregates offer designers and specifiers flexibility and cost-effective solutions. The raw shale used is of the Frontier Formation and is quarried, crushed, and screened to the desired size. It is then heated to a high temperature, causing the shale particles to expand and create non-interconnecting internal voids.

This process also vitrifies the shale, resulting in a hard ceramic shell. The final Utelite lightweight aggregate is a uniform, high-quality product with excellent properties such as lightweightness, high strength, acoustic insulation, and fire resistance. It is stable, durable, and inert, making it suitable for various applications.

Utelite offers a range of products including professional soil products, home and garden soil products, ACT-MX filtering media, and standard grades of Utelite ES aggregate. These products have been used in numerous projects, including structural lightweight concrete, lightweight geotechnical fill, internal curing of concrete, water filtration, and more.
