►Norlite
In Action

| ▼Construction |
▼ Pool Base |
- Because of perlite's outstanding insulating
characteristics and light weight, it is widely used as a loose-fill
insulation in masonry construction. In this application, free-flowing
perlite loose-fill masonry insulation is poured into the cavities of
concrete block where it completely fills all cores, crevices, mortar
areas and ear holes.
- In addition to providing thermal insulation,
perlite enhances fire ratings, reduces noise transmission and it is
rot, vermin and termite resistant.
|
|
 |
- When perlite is used as an aggregate in
concrete, a lightweight, fire resistant, insulating concrete is
produced that is ideal for roof decks and other applications.
- Perlite can also be used as an aggregate in
Portland cement and gypsum plasters for exterior applications and for
the fire protection of beams and columns.
- Other construction applications include
under-floor insulation, chimney linings, paint texturing, gypsum
boards, ceiling tiles, and roof insulation boards.

▼Filtration and Abrasives |
|
- Industrial applications for perlite are the
most diverse, ranging from high performance fillers for plastics to
cements for petroleum, water and geothermal wells.

media for pharmaceuticals, food products, chemicals and water for
municipal systems and swimming pools.
- Additional applications include its use as an abrasive in soaps,
cleaners, and polishes.
|
|
| |
▼Insulation |
 |
- A variety of foundry applications
utilizing perlite's insulating properties and high heat resistance.
- This
same heat resistant property is taken advantage of when perlite is used
in the manufacture of refractory bricks, mortars, and pipe insulation
|
- Perlite is also
ideal for insulating low temperature and cryogenic vessels.
- Perlite's outstanding insulating
characteristics and light weight, make it an ideal for packing
cold storage containers with insulation material
