Perlite Sand is a remarkable, naturally occurring lightweight *** mineral that undergoes a fascinating transformation when heated, resulting in a highly porous and versatile material. Renowned for its outstanding insulation properties, low density, and adaptability, our Premium Refractory Perlite Sand is indispensable across a myriad of industries including construction, horticulture, and filtration. Our high-quality Perlite Sand is meticulously processed to guarantee unmatched uniformity, exceptional performance, and consistent reliability across a variety of 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. |
