EXPANDED PERLITE is widely used in horticultural applications because of its lightweight form factor water holding capacity neutral pH and pathogen free nature Perlite is found in the engineered lightweight soils of roof gardens and planters as well as commercial and bagged potting soils Perlite also functions as a soilless grow media
Expanded perlite microspheres EPMs is a novel low cost material that uniquely combine important properties rendering it an ideal filler; it is micro sized spherical inert lightweight thermal insulating with closed external surface and considerable mechanical properties 4 EPM grades of different density 67 to 233 kg·m 3 were produced through
6 Perlite board in roofing offers numerous benefits due to its unique characteristics One of its primary advantages is its exceptional insulation properties The porous structure of perlite containing tiny air pockets provides effective thermal insulation for roofs This feature enables the material to regulate the temperature inside a
grades of expanded perlite allows it to absorb up to 8 times its weight in water ˚is ability underlies its use to stabilize highly saturated soils water from well drilling services and other hazardous liquid wastes Also see info sheet Perlite as a Sludge Absorbent Filtration Perlite s role in ˜ltration of liquids is well documented

In particular for the porous materials with high porosity such as expanded perlite insulation mortar pore types and size range are affected by the proportion of the expanded perlite [21][22][23
Perlite is probably the medium ingredient having the highest air filled porosity Schindler et al 2017 Burs et al 1997a reported that water retained at −10 kPa is much higher for the coarse fraction mm diameter than for the fine fraction mm diameter of expanded perlite This difference in water holding
The primary role of expanded perlite in soilless growing mixes is aeration when added to peat moss composts coir and other water holding aggregates The porous surface of expanded perlite provides room alternately for both air and water in the mixes
WHAT IS Perlite Perlite is a mineral ore which originated from the hydration of natural volcanic lava for over million of years When Processed and heated up to 800⁰ 950⁰ it will expand 4 20 times the original volume Perlite becomes porous particles due to the release of water contained and thus reducing its density

The expanded perlite particles with ∼95% internal porosity and a particle density of ∼ g/cm 3 were supplied by AusPerl Co According to the material datasheet the particles contain 75 wt% SiO 2 14 wt% Al 2 O 3 3 wt% Na 2 O 4 wt% K 2 O wt% CaO 1 wt% Fe 2 O 3 wt% MgO wt% TiO 2 with traces of heavy metals A356 aluminium alloy with
Expanded perlite as an aggregate in concrete may make insulating concrete and fire resistant suitable for roof decks and other purposes Expanded perlite aggregate EPA may be used with gypsum
Perlite insulating concrete consists of a mixture of expanded perlite Portland cement water and an air entraining agent The dry concrete weighs from 20 to 50 pounds per cubic foot depending on the mix design selected The fire safety of perlite concrete is unsurpassed by most roof insulating materials of equivalent thickness Perlite
This article presents results from testing an innovative solution for dry masonry made of medium size elements with expanded perlite aggregate Material with this type of aggregate has a low bulk density 390 ± 10% kg/m3 which allows the production of large blocks and significantly reduces the value of the thermal conductivity coefficient λ
in the construction of roof gardens; as a substrate for mycelium; Perlite in industrial Expanded perlite in addition to its popular applications in construction and horticulture is also widely used in various industries Expanded perlite is a very light material 60 160 kg / m3 with an extremely low coefficient of thermal conductivity
