Perlite can be described as a glassy, volcanic rock having a pearl-like luster and has the unusual characteristic of expanding to about 20 times its original volume upon heating within its softening temperature range.<br \/>\nOwing to its low density with attendant properties of low thermal conductivity and high sound absorption, expanded perlite is used in a variety of commercial applications.<\/p>\n<p>In the construction sector it\u2019s used in lightweight plaster mixes, insulation materials, thermal and sound absorption roof tiles as well as an auxiliary component in filters.<\/p>\n<p>In the agricultural sector it renders the soil loose, allowing the air to circulate whereas it has a high level of water absorption. It\u2019s an ideal solution for hydroponics crop.
