Perlite
Description :
Overview of Perlite
Perlite is a natural, amorphous, volcanic glass that expands upon heating, resulting in a highly lightweight, porous, and chemically inert product. Perlite is extensively used in agriculture, construction, industrial filtration, and insulation due to its outstanding heat resistance, water retention, and lightweight.
The uses of perlite are based on its distinctive physical structure that provides high density, surface area, and drainage. For the agricultural and industrial sector, perlite is admired because of its stability, consistency, and non-toxicity. It is commonly used alongside special industrial chemicals like N-Butylamine, N-Butyllithium, and N-Chlorosuccinimide in formulation and process support environments.
Applications of Perlite
