Perlite

Perlite is a naturally occurring volcanic glass that expands when heated, forming a lightweight and porous material. Known for its excellent insulation, low density, and high water retention, Perlite is widely used across construction, horticulture, filtration, and industrial applications. Its versatility, chemical stability, and eco-friendly nature make it a preferred choice in multiple industries.

Key Features

  • Lightweight and highly porous structure

  • Excellent thermal and sound insulation

  • Chemically stable and non-toxic

  • High water retention capacity

  • Fire-resistant and eco-friendly

Applications

  • Construction – used in lightweight concrete, plaster, and insulation materials

  • Horticulture – improves soil aeration, drainage, and water retention

  • Filtration – acts as a filter aid in food, beverage, and chemical industries

  • Industrial Uses – employed in cryogenic insulation and refractory products

  • Fillers – used in paints, plastics, and rubber for lightweight properties

Perlite is a lightweight volcanic mineral used as a soil amendment, insulation material, and in filtration processes. It improves soil aeration, retains moisture, and provides thermal insulation. It is widely used in horticulture, construction, and industrial applications for its low density and versatility.
