NATURE'S WONDER

The expansion of Perlite takes place due to the presence of 2 to 6 per cent combined water in Perlite Ore.  Combined water vaporizes and creates countless tiny bubbles that create a light weight product and other exceptional physical properties of Expanded Perlite.

The expansion process also creates one of Perlite’s most distinguishing characteristics - its white colour irrespective of the colour of crude Perlite Ore which could be from light gray to glossy black.

Expanded Perlite can be manufactured to weigh as light as 32 kgs./cu.m., making it suitable for many exciting applications.

Chemically, it is an amorphous mineral consisting of fused sodium potassium aluminium silicate.
