Thermal insulation

perlitelooseblown

GEOPERL® is a perlite, a natural white mineral that is obtained with a process of thermal expansion of a specific variety of effusive volcanic rock: it is used for thermal insulation. Perlite is an inorganic siliceous ore. The distinguishing feature of perlite is its expansibility of approximately 10 times when heated over 800°C. Perlite contains crystallised water that is evaporated when heated creating numerous microscopic air hollows that provide the insulation’s characteristics. The LBD (Loose Bulk Density) of dry perlite is approximately 1-1.1 tons/m³ whereas the LBD of the expanded perlite may have 60-500Kg/m³ according to the end usage. GEOPERL® is light, non-combustible, non-toxic and insulating. It is useful in a wide variety of industrial applications such as construction, horticulture, filtration and insulation FIRE CLASSIFICATION EURO CLASS A1, NON-COMBUSTIBLE
