PLANT!T Perlite 100L Bag

Product Information

Perlite is a substrate used to improve the physical properties of the soil. It is used to create optimal soil conditions, increase density, reduce drainage and preserve moisture, provide a good breeding ground for seedlings and ensure excellent aeration. Specifically, it is used for agriculture, horticulture, greenhouse cultivation, and sports fields. Expanded Perlite is suitable for a range of landscaping applications such as green roof construction, golf green renovation and construction, planters, drainage and reduction. Perlite standard is lightweight, density approximately 100kg/m 3. It is supplied in 100 litre bags by Sinclair Professional.

A lot of fine dust particles will be released into the air when you start pouring it out of the bag. While not immediately life threatening, it’s always best to avoid breathing any of it in. To avoid this spray or wet the perlite slightly before you begin tipping it out of the bag. SwiftAir exfoliated vermiculite and expanded perlite are absorbents and carriers. Each of these unique minerals have their own characteristics.

In the food industry, Perlite (Standard Grade) 2-5mm is used for straining fruit juices, vegetable edible oils, sugar syrup, corn sherbet (producing glucose I dextrose), beer, wine and liquors. It is also used for filtration of dyes, white water filtration in the paper industry, antibiotics, pectin, citric acid, soda ash solutions, sodium silicate (water glass), sulfuric acid, uranium sherbet, floccine in hydroxide and flocculation processes, as well as phosphoric acid leaching. Additionally, it is suitable for drinking water filtration, swimming pool water filtration, waste water cleaning and filtration processes, and machine oil filtration (regeneration of used machine oils). As a filler i n the p h a r maceut i ca l and chemical i ndust ry; Perlite (Standard Grade) 2-5mm is suitable for many applications, including veterinary and human healthcare drugs, pesticides, cleaning powders, fertilizers, dynamite production and high-performance paint with large surface area coverage.

Perlite insulation is used in high temperature applications in the steel and foundry industries such as ladle topping, hot topping and risering. As a heat insulation material in industry; Reactors up to 1000° can benefit from Perlite (Standard Grade) insulation. It is an ideal material for cold storages, LPG, LNG, liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen, ammonia, liquid propane, ethane, methane, liquid noble gases, propellants and refrigerants. Additionally, it makes an effective additive for ceramics and glass production.Perlite granules have a very porous texture, meaning they are full of micro pores that can store extra amounts of oxygen, vital for you plants to grow healthy and strong! The porous nature of perlite means that water is extremely free-draining though it, meaning less chances of a water-logged pot and over watered plants, when you use it as a growing amendment. It is particularly useful for opening up and aerating dense soils or potting mixes, dramatically increasing the overall available oxygen content. Further to promoting a faster uptake of nutrients, an increased oxygen level will also help to ward off any pathogenic diseases from your pot – helping to keep root rot at bay. Perlite, due to its low density, minimal volume, physical resilience, chemical stability, fire resistance, and low acoustic permeability, is a necessity for a variety of applications, including usage in agriculture, construction, water filtration, and more.
