PERLITE AND VERMICULITE 50% / 50% MIXED 100 LITRE (GRADE 3)

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. Upon 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. Perlite, 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. Exfoliators stand as the foremost producer of Premium Vermiculite in Australia, with their sources primarily located in two significant regions: Southern Africa and Northern Australia. This product is distinctively unique, being Sterile and pH Neutral, which permits its utilization in a wide range of applications, including Vermiculite insulation and Vermiculite Horticulture. The unique attributes of this product encompass several special characteristics such as being Lightweight, Thermally Stable, possessing a High Water holding capacity, being non-reactive, and odourless.
