Perlite Insulation

Hydrophobic expanded perlite is a naturally occurring siliceous volcanic rock that is moulded into pipe and block forms. Perlite 650 is a high temperature insulation which displays  exceptional corrosion inhibiting properties.  A negative charge is present within the sodium silicate binder which draws the positive charge from the pipe. This acts as a protection barrier against moisture, oxygen, chlorides and other corrosive elements.

Since perlite is a form of natural glass, it is classified as chemically inert and has a pH of  approximately 7. Perlite 650 benefits from meeting or exceeding the minimum physical property requirements of ASTM C 610. Perlite 650 is asbestos-free  and benefits from low   thermal conductivity with a high compressive strength whilst acting as a strong rigid insulation. Also meets the requirements of ASTM C795 for Stress cracking on Stainless Steel.
