Perlite Sand is a naturally occurring, lightweight *** mineral that expands when heated, producing a highly porous material. Renowned for its outstanding insulation capabilities, minimal density, and remarkable adaptability, Perlite Sand finds extensive application in a plethora of industries including construction, horticulture, and filtration. Our superior-grade Perlite Sand is meticulously processed to ensure uniformity, delivering unparalleled performance and reliability across all its diverse applications.
Construction | Lightweight Concrete: Used to reduce the weight of concrete while maintaining strength and insulation properties. Plasters and Mortars: Enhances workability and improves insulation when mixed with plaster or mortar. Insulation Boards and Panels: Provides thermal insulation for roofs, walls, and floors. Fireproofing: Used in fireproofing applications due to its high fire resistance. |
Horticulture | Soil Conditioner: Improves aeration and drainage in soils, helping plant roots grow healthier and stronger. Hydroponics: Used in hydroponic systems as a growing medium due to its lightweight and water-retention properties. Seed Starting Mix: Provides an optimal environment for seed germination by maintaining moisture and preventing soil compaction. |
Filtration | Water and Liquid Filtration: Used in industrial filtration systems for cleaning and purifying water, chemicals, and oils. Air Filtration: Effective in removing particulates and contaminants in air filtration systems. |
Industrial Uses | Cryogenic Insulation: Used in super-cold environments to insulate storage tanks and pipelines. Refractories: As a component in refractory materials due to its resistance to high temperatures. |
