Applications	Paint,grout and general fillers Textured coatings Lightweight plasters and renders Animal and poultry feeds Anti-caking additive and drying agent Refractory applications and fireproofing compounds Artificial stone Chimney lining (pumped perlite concrete)
Chemical Properties	Perlite P10 is an aluminium silicate. Typical composition is: Silicon (SiO2) 73% Aluminium (Al2O3) 15% Iron (Fe2O3) 2% Sodium (Na2O) 3% Potassium (K2O) 5% Calcium (CaO) + Magnesium (MgO) 1% Others 1% pH 6.5 - 7.5 Organic Matter nil Moisture Content (when packed) nil
Physical Properties	Expanded Perlite P10 is white with a nominal particle size of 0.15 - 2.0 mm. Refractive Index 1.5 Free Moisture (max) 0.5% pH of Water Slurry 6.5 - 8.0 Softening Point 890 - 1100oC Fushion Point 1280 - 1350oC Specific Heat 837J/kgK (0.2 cal/gc) Thermal Conductivity (loose poured) 0.05 w/mC
Grading Specification	The bulk density of Perlite P10 is 80 - 100 kg/m3 Sieve Size % by weight passing 2.36 90 - 100 1.70 80 - 95 1.20 65 - 85 600 micron 35 - 55 300 micron 0 - 30
Packaging	Perlite P10 is normally supplied in plastic sacks containing 100 litres (approximately 3.5ft3). Alternative packaging is available to order.
Health and Safety	Expanded Perlite P10 is a heat-processed, inorganic material and since no chemical changes occur it is considered non-reportable. However it is advisable to study the Perlite Material Safety Data Sheet compiled in accordance with COSHH/CHIP Regulations.
