Product description
A volcanic rock, perlite expands after crushing and baking. It is known to dilate four to twenty times in volume when heated. During dilation, perlite particles form white granules with tiny cavities or pores. The porous surface retains water needed for plant roots and forms air passages at the base of plants, thereby providing optimal aeration. Perlite varies in colour from bone white to gray. Perlite is a siliceous glassy volcanic rock that will expand when heated at varying temperatures of 900° to 1100° degrees Celsius. This industrial mineral is used primarily in the following industries: construction, insulation, filtration and horticulture. Perlite is neutral and does not contain any nutrients, has no buffer effect, nor has the capacity of cationic exchange and is odorless. The low density and porous texture of expanded perlite combined with its low thermal conductivity, remarkable soundproofing capacity, and neutral chemical properties justify its wide use and commercial value.
