Industrial (Absorbent, Abrasive, Filleraid):
- Perlite is used as an aggregate in insulating panels, as filter aid in food, beer and wine processing, for sludge de-watering, liquid waste solidification, spill absorption, and as insulation for cryogenic tanks.
Construction (Insulation, Lt. Wt. Aggregate, Texture, Acoustic):
- Perlite is used as loose fill insulation in masonry walls, an aggregate in spray-on fireproofing, chimney insulation mix, a lightweight aggregate in plaster and concrete, and as a texturing agent for paints.
Horticultural (Lt. Wt. Soil Amendment):
- Light weight Perlite provides excellent aeration and moisture retention when blended with other soil media.
- Perlite supports root growth and retains nutrients which it releases for superior plant growth.
