Expanded Perlite

Expanded Perlite

  is a mineral material derived from volcanic rocks with a silicate composition. Due to its unique properties, it has a wide range of applications in various industries.

Features:

• Lightweight and Porous: Expanded perlite is very lightweight and contains tiny air pockets, making it an excellent thermal and acoustic insulator¹².
• Sterile and Non-toxic: This material is sterile and non-toxic, resistant to decay and pests³.
• Heat Resistant: Expanded perlite is heat resistant and known as a refractory material².
• Neutral pH: It has a neutral pH, making it suitable for use in various environments without disrupting plant growth³.

Applications:

• Agriculture and Horticulture: Used as a soil conditioner to improve aeration and water and nutrient retention in the soil².
• Construction: Used in the production of lightweight concrete, building blocks, and thermal and acoustic insulations¹.
• Chemical and Food Industries: Used as a filter and absorbent in various chemical processes and food production².
• Metallurgical Industries: Used as a thermal insulator and absorbent in melting and casting processes².
