The perlite ore is shipped in 100 ton sealed railcars (Figure 4) to keep it from becoming wet and heavy. On average, forty-to-fifty of the 100-ton sealed cars are shipped per week. The perlite is usually shipped while unexpanded to cut down on shipping costs. Since perlite expands 40-50 times in size, it becomes uneconomical to ship from ...

Expanded or unexpanded granular ore forms of perlite are added to molten metal pouring ladles. Most often the ore form is used which reacts slag in the ladle to allow easy removal of the slag layer. In cases where it is desirable to maintain a metal temperature in a ladle, the expanded perlite layer forms an efficient insulating blanket.

Two types of water, H2O and OH (a negatively charged water of hydration) are contained and internally bound in perlite ore. When rapidly heated to an appropriate temperature, perlite's silicate structure softens and both types of water turn to steam, blowing or expanding the viscous mass into a glassy silicate bubble froth consisting of tiny closed …

The Benefits of Perlite as Insulation. When perlite ore is expanded by exposure to rapid, controlled heating, it grows up to 20 times its original volume and takes on a -like cellular internal structure — essentially clusters of microscopic glass bubbles. This physical transformation makes expanded perlite an extremely efficient, low ...

Perlite furnaces are orientated vertically to facilitate sorting of the particles at different stages of expansion. The ore particles are fed into the furnace mid-way up the furnace barrel and levitate in a powerful stream of forced hot air heated to 900-1,000°C (1,800-2,000°F) by a combination burner and blower fixture at the base.

Our raw ore is one of the only perlite ores in the world that can produce Large hydroponic grade expanded perlite particles: [over 30% plus 4 mesh] All horticulture grades: from seedling applications all the way up ...

When the crushed ore is exposed to high temperatures (around 850°C to 900°C), this water content vaporizes, causing the perlite to "pop" like popcorn. This expansion can increase its volume by up to twenty times, resulting in the lightweight, white, porous material we recognize as expanded perlite.

Perlite have not identified crystalline silica as being present above the detection limit (0.05%). Although there are not published reports of adverse health effects from exposure to perlite dust, dust levels should be maintained below t Permissible Exposure Limit for perlite and respirators used when airborne dust is present.
