Perlite is a naturally occurring volcanic glass that expands significantly when heated at high temperatures. It is a lightweight, porous, and inert material that finds diverse applications in gardening, construction, and industrial processes. The formation of perlite begins when volcanic glass, such as obsidian, is subjected to intense heat, causing it to expand and form bubbles. This expansion process results in a white or light gray material with a unique structure of tiny, sealed air pockets. In horticulture, perlite is commonly used as a soil amendment to improve aeration and drainage in potting mixes. Its lightweight and porous nature prevents soil compaction, enhances root development, and reduces the risk of overwatering. In the construction industry, perlite is utilized as an aggregate in lightweight concrete and plaster, contributing to the reduction of overall weight while maintaining good insulation properties. At present, perlite finds extensive applications in various industries in the filtration of liquids and gases and the production of fire-resistant materials and insulation products across the globe.
