China Manufacturer Expanded Perlite with Low Price in Construction

Perlite is an acidic glassy lava formed by volcanic eruptions. Its main components are SiO₂ (70-75%) and Al₂O₃ (12-15%), and contains a small amount of water (2-5%). It expands rapidly at high temperatures (900-1200℃) to form porous and lightweight materials, which are widely used in construction, agriculture, chemical industry and other fields.

1. Construction and building materials**

- **Insulation materials**: lightweight insulation mortar, roof insulation layer (low thermal conductivity).

- **Lightweight concrete**: replace part of sand and gravel to reduce building load.

- **Fireproof materials**: vitrified perlite is used for fireproof board and fire-resistant coating.


### **2. Agriculture and horticulture**

- **Soilless culture medium**: breathable and water-retaining, promoting plant root growth.

- **Soil conditioner**: improve compacted soil and improve drainage.


### **3. Industry and chemical industry**

- **Filter aid**: filter medium for beer, juice, and oil industry.

- **Chemical carrier**: adsorb pesticides, catalysts, etc.

- **Filler**: used for coatings, plastics, rubber (reduce costs and improve performance).


### **4. Other special uses**

- **Cosmetics**: ultrafine perlite powder is used as a scrub (exfoliating product).

- **Medicine**: drug sustained release carrier (requires high purity treatment).

- **Filter aid**: used for swimming pools and sewage treatment.

## **Fourth, selection suggestions**

- **Insulation building materials**: choose expanded perlite with low density (<150 kg/m³) and low thermal conductivity (<0.045 W/m·K).

- **Horticulture**: medium particles (1-3mm) to ensure a balance between air permeability and water retention.

- **Industrial filtration**: high-purity fine particles (0.5-1mm) to avoid impurity contamination.

- **Water-repellent requirements**: choose silane-modified perlite, suitable for humid environments.
