{"product_id":"perlite-2mm-to-4mm-medium-grade-100-litre","title":"PERLITE (2MM TO 4MM MEDIUM GRADE) 100 LITRE","description":"Perlite, an inorganic mineral of significant versatility, undergoes expansion to be extensively utilized worldwide for a myriad of applications. This naturally occurring mineral, in the form of siliceous rock, is globally available with the most prominent mines situated in North America, Greece, Turkey, China, and Northern Australia.\n \n\n \nUpon heating the perlite ore within the temperature range of approximately 850⁰-900⁰C, it expands up to twenty times its original volume. This characteristic distinguishes it from many other volcanic glasses, rendering it ideal for use as perlite insulation. The expansion is attributed to the evaporation of water that has been trapped within the ore, which constitutes approximately 4% of the perlite ore’s content. This evaporation prompts the ore to expand to its specific size. The process bears resemblance to the preparation of popcorn in a microwave, albeit at a significantly higher temperature. During the expansion phase, the perlite ore transitions from dark shades of black and grey to fluorescent, pearly white hues.\n \n\n \nPerlite, a form of volcanic glass, is highly valued in horticulture for its capacity to aerate soil and enhance drainage. It is often compared with another gardening staple, vermiculite. Despite their frequent interchangeable use, each possesses unique advantages and applications.\n \n\n \n\u003cstrong\u003eMore Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n \n\u003ca title=\"Perlite: The Versatile Mineral\" href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/perlite-house.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003ci class=\"fa-solid fa-file-pdf\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e Perlite: The Versatile Mineral\u003c\/a\u003e\n \n\u003ca title=\"Perlite: The Mineral for Healthy Plants\" href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Perlite-for-Healthy-Plants.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003ci class=\"fa-solid fa-file-pdf\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e Perlite: The Mineral for Healthy Plants\u003c\/a\u003e\n \n\u003ca title=\"The Role of Perlite in Hydroponic Culture\" href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Perlite-for-HydroponicCulture.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003ci class=\"fa-solid fa-file-pdf\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e The Role of Perlite in Hydroponic Culture\u003c\/a\u003e\n \n\u003ca title=\"Perlite for Lawns and Gardens\" href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Perlite-for-Lawns-Gardens.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003ci class=\"fa-solid fa-file-pdf\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e Perlite for Lawns and Gardens\u003c\/a\u003e\n \n\u003ca title=\"Growing Orchids in Perlite\" href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/growing-orchids-perlite.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003ci class=\"fa-solid fa-file-pdf\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e Growing Orchids in Perlite\u003c\/a\u003e\n \n\u003ca title=\"Perlite for Golf Course Greens\" href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Perlite-for-Golf-Course-Greens.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003ci class=\"fa-solid fa-file-pdf\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e Perlite for Golf Course Greens\u003c\/a\u003e\n \n\u003ca title=\"Gardens in the Sky\" href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/gardens-in-sky-perlite.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003ci class=\"fa-solid fa-file-pdf\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e Gardens in the Sky\u003c\/a\u003e\n \n\u003ca title=\"Gentle on the Roof Gardens\" href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/gently-on-roof-perlite.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003ci class=\"fa-solid fa-file-pdf\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e Gentle on the Roof Gardens\u003c\/a\u003e\n \n\u003ca title=\"Perlite Grow Bags\" href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Perlite-Grow-Bags.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003ci class=\"fa-solid fa-file-pdf\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e Perlite Grow Bags\u003c\/a\u003e","brand":"Exfoliators","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48015055880344,"sku":"MEDPER015","price":35.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/3223\/2088\/files\/c3db17db-exfoliators-perlite__32347.jpg?v=1768449806","url":"https:\/\/accent-wholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/perlite-2mm-to-4mm-medium-grade-100-litre","provider":"Accent Wholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
