What is perlite?
Perlite is a type of watery rhyolitic stones with a pearly luster, and that's why they gave it the name perlite (pearl = pearl). Perlite in pure samples is very similar to pearl grains. Perlite has different compounds and elements in its structure, according to their type, the expansion temperature of perlite can also be different. Perlite is a natural and volcanic stone that initially flows and cools as dark lava on the surface of the earth. Then, as a result of heating it (around 1300 degrees), the water comes out of its texture and turns into a white and pearl-like stone.
What is the mineral shell?
Mineral pumice is a stone made of aluminum silicate with a very high degree of porosity and resistance, which is formed by the flow of volcanic lava on the surface of the earth and its cooling. Depending on the type of elements in the lava texture, the color of mineral pumice can be different.
The similarities and applications of the perlite and the mineral shell
In most cases, mineral pumice and perlite are used together, and this is due to the properties of these two stones. Perlite and mineral pumice have properties such as: 🔰 Very high resistance to temperature changes 🔰 Lightness and spongy and porous texture 🔰 Suitable for insulating various spaces 🔰 Suitable for preventing energy waste
