Perlite Insulation

DARQ Perlite Insulation is a lightweight, highly effective thermal insulation material derived from naturally occurring siliceous volcanic rock. When rapidly heated, raw perlite expands up to 20 times its original volume, creating a highly porous structure that offers exceptional insulation performance across a range of industries.

What is Perlite?

Perlite is an amorphous volcanic glass with high water content, formed by the natural hydration of obsidian. Upon heating, it undergoes a physical expansion due to the vaporization of water trapped within the mineral, resulting in a lightweight, white, granular material used across industrial, construction, and horticultural sectors.

Key Features & Benefits

• Lightweight & Porous Structure
  Expanded perlite is extremely light, making it ideal for insulation and lightweight construction materials.

• Excellent Thermal Insulation
  Low thermal conductivity makes it suitable for high-temperature insulation applications, including cryogenics and refractories.

• Non-Combustible & Inorganic
  Stable at high temperatures and resistant to fire, contributing to safer insulation solutions.

• Moisture & Chemical Resistant
  Inert to most chemicals, rot-proof, and resistant to microbial growth and moisture damage.

• Multi-Industry Applications
  Used in industrial insulation, lightweight plasters, ceiling tiles, refractory materials, firestop mortars, horticulture, and filtration systems.

• Environmentally Responsible
  Though non-renewable, perlite’s efficiency and durability reduce energy use and maintenance costs over time.
