Expanded Perlite 30–50 mesh
Expanded perlite is a lightweight, porous silicate material formed by heating natural perlite ore, used for insulation and lightweight aggregates.
Description
Thermal expansion produces sealed microvoids giving low bulk density and good insulating performance. Grain sizes such as 30–50 mesh are selected for specific thermal or structural properties.
Applications
- Insulating fillers in refractory and construction materials
- Lightweight plasters and insulating concretes
- Horticultural soil conditioners
Packaging
- Bagged or bulk on pallets with product labeling
- Protect from compression and moisture
- Handle carefully to maintain granule integrity
Storage
- Store dry and covered to avoid moisture absorption
- Stack lightly to prevent crushing of granules
- FIFO recommended to maintain uniform performance
