Perlite Sand is a naturally occurring, lightweight volcanic mineral that expands when heated, producing a highly porous material. Known for its excellent insulation properties, low density, and versatility, Perlite Sand is widely used in various industries such as construction, horticulture, and filtration. Our premium Perlite Sand is carefully processed to ensure uniformity, high performance, and consistency across all 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. |
