EXPANDED PERLITE PARTICLE

Product description
Perlite(also called Pearlstone) is a water-containing volcanic
rock of an acidic composition.
At an abrupt heating to temperatures of 1000 to 1200C, perlite sand swells to
many times its initial volume,
producing a highly porous friable material with a fine cellular structure, chemically
inert, biologically stable,
heat- resistant, non toxic,odourless, water-insoluble, mould-repellent, offering
exceptional insulating and filtering properties.
Applications of expanded Perlite:
Physical properties of primary Perlite rock:
| Specific gravity, g/cm3 | 2.3 |
| Organic admixtures | virtually absent |
| Compressive strength, kg/cm2 | 180 to 700 |
| Water absorption, in % | 3 to 10 |
| Porosity, in % | 8 to 36 |
Chemical properties:
| pH (10% suspension) | 7.2 to 7.8 |
| Composition, in %: | |
| SiO2 | 72.60 to 74.84 |
| Al2O3 | 13.37 to 13.64 |
| Fe2O3 | 0.54 to 0.97 |
| CaO | 0.45 to 0.97 |
| MgO | 0.20 to 0.26 |
| Na2O | 3.77 to 3.95 |
| K2O | 3.95 to 4.19 |
| TiO2 | 0.02 to 0.05 |
| Loss on ignition | 2.00 to 5.00 |
In international trade, in view of distances involved, it may
be appropriate to supply primary (crude) Perlite rock, for further processing
at destination.
However, the supplier can also offer Expanded Perlite Sand.
As well as more specifically Perlite Filtering Powder, graded and packed to
Customers' requirements.
Specifications of these products are available on request.
Shipments via Russian ports on the Black Sea ( Novorossiysk) or some ports on the Azov Sea
