Global Unexpanded Perlite Market Professional Survey Report 2019

Perlite is an amorphous volcanic glass that has a relatively high water content, typically formed by the hydration of obsidian. Unexpanded ("raw") perlite has a bulk density around 1100 kg/m3 (1.1 g/cm3), while typical expanded perlite has a bulk density of about 30–150 kg/m3 (0.03–0.150 g/cm3).
Unexpanded perlite, commonly known as crude perlite has wide-ranging applications including sandblasting, casting of sand & mixtures, agriculture and slag coagulation. Perlite is formed when molten rocks ejects out of a volcano and cools rapidly. Because of the rapid cooling, water is stuck within the rock and the lava turns into a glass-like rock.
