Na2O 3.29% P2O5 0.04% L.O.I. 4.94%
Size: raw perlite 8-70 mesh as request.
Exfoliated perlite 0 – 4mm as request.
Exfoliated perlite board as request
Packing: 100L bags, 50kg bags or 1 MT big bags for shipment as request.
Since perlite has low density and is relatively economical, it is used commercially in following ways:
- Construction and manufacturing fields.
- Lightweight plasters and mortars, insulation, ceiling tiles and filter aids.
- In horticulture, it makes composts more open to air, while having still a good water-retention properties.
- It makes a good medium for hydroponics.
- It is also used in foundries and cryogenic insulations.
