Perlite is a naturally occurring volcanic glass that is primarily composed of silica (SiO2) and is characterized by its lightweight, porous structure. When heated to high temperatures, perlite expands significantly, resulting in a material that is both lightweight and highly insulating. This expansion occurs due to the presence of water trapped within the glassy structure, which vaporizes and causes the material to puff up. Perlite is commonly used in horticulture as a soil amendment to improve aeration and drainage, as well as in construction as an aggregate in lightweight concrete and insulation products. Its high thermal resistance and low density make it an effective insulator in various applications. Additionally, perlite is chemically inert, which means it does not react with most chemicals, making it suitable for a wide range of uses without altering the properties of other materials. Overall, perlite's unique physical and chemical properties make it a versatile substance in both industrial and agricultural applications.
