Slate
Slate products can be divided into two categories:
a) roofing slates used primarily for roofing and siding and,
to a lesser extent, for paving and decoration;
b) slate flake and powder used for manufacturing shingles
(asphalt roofing elements covered with flakes) and as filler
for plastics and rubber, insecticides, etc.
