Ore Perlite is a natural form of volcanic glass, known for its ability to expand when heated. Typically, when heated above 600 °C, the water vapor inside evaporates, causing the material to expand and acquire a lightweight, porous structure. This expansion grants ore perlite highly beneficial properties for various industrial and commercial applications.

Properlite's ore perlite, offered to customers worldwide, stands out in the industry due to years of mining experience, professional processing techniques, and a nature-friendly approach.

Chemical and Physical Properties

The chemical composition of ore perlite typically consists of 70-75% silica (SiO₂), 12-15% alumina (Al₂O₃), 5-8% sodium oxide (Na₂O), and other oxides. This composition provides perlite with high chemical resistance and thermal stability. Its density ranges from 0.1 to 0.5 g/cm³, making it lightweight and workable. Additionally, its water absorption capacity allows for the creation of lightweight structures.

Temperature Resistance

Ore Perlite is resistant to high temperatures, typically withstanding heat between 650-800 °C. This property makes it an ideal material for thermal insulation and provides fire resistance, making it significant in the construction sector. Its resistance to high temperatures allows for its use in the casting industry and energy production.

Environmentally Friendly Features

Ore Perlite is considered an environmentally friendly option due to its natural mineral composition. It does not require chemical additives during processing and contributes to the sustainable use of natural resources. Additionally, perlite is easy to recycle, making it an attractive choice for those looking to maintain ecological balance.

Structural Properties of Perlite

Thanks to its porous structure, ore perlite performs exceptionally well in thermal and acoustic insulation. Its vapor permeability also benefits Horticultural applications by supporting root development in plants and aiding in water retention. Moreover, its lightweight nature allows for its use as construction materials and fillers.
