Perlite is a volcanic mineral that, after a thermal expansion process, forms small, airy white spheres.

This unique structure, coupled with its inert chemical nature and near-neutral pH, makes it an invaluable resource not only for agriculture and gardening, but also for various industries.

Perlite maintains its unaltered structure over time.

Main Uses:

• Agriculture: Perlite can be mixed with all kinds of organic substrates to improve soil aeration, promoting root development and preventing compaction. It allows for a gradual release of water, preventing water stress in plants.

• Hydroponics: One of the most important and therefore most used materials in soilless cultivation. Various studies have shown that perlite results in outstanding crops. It has a pH in water of between 7 and 10, making it an excellent substrate in hydroponic crops. The ideal granulometry for this modality is 1-5 mm.

• Gardening: Used in substrate mixes for pots, vertical gardens, and container gardening. Essential for plants requiring efficient drainage.

• Construction: Due to its insulating capacity, it is used in the preparation of lightweight mortars, plasters, and concretes.

• Filtration: As a filter medium in food and beverage industries.

• High-temperature industries: Its thermal resistance makes it suitable for use as insulation in ovens and foundries.
