Perlite is used for the insulation of low-temperature application equipment such as cryogenic (-100 degC or -150 degF) and super-cold storage tanks and test chambers. Perlite insulation is also used in food processing applications (up to 4 degC or 40 degF - about the minimum food refrigeration temperature).
