I-Perlite ecacileyo ephezulu yokongeza kwi-Iibhedi eziphakanyisiweyo – ii-Mesh Microspheres ezingama-40 ze-Perlite zokukhusela ubushushu – Kehui

I-Perlite yiglasi yentaba-mlilo engenasimo esifana nesasentlango enomthamo wamanzi ophezulu, odla ngokwenziwa kukufuma kwe-obsidian. Ivela ngokwendalo kwaye ineempawu ezingaqhelekanga zokukhula kakhulu xa ishushu ngokwaneleyo.
I-Perlite iyathamba xa ifikelela kumaqondo obushushu angama-850–900 °C (1,560–1,650 °F). Amanzi abanjwe kwisakhiwo sento ayaphuma aze aphume, kwaye oku kubangela ukuba into ikhule ibe yi-7–16 ubukhulu bayo bokuqala. Izinto ezikhutshiweyo zimhlophe qwa, ngenxa yokukhanya kwamaqamza avalelekileyo. I-perlite engakhuliswanga ("eluhlaza") inobunzima obumalunga ne-1100 kg/m3 (1.1 g/cm3), ngelixa i-perlite eqhelekileyo ekhutshiweyo inobunzima obumalunga ne-30–150 kg/m3 (0.03–0.150 g/cm3).

I-Perlite isetyenziselwa ukwakha izitena, isamente, kunye neeplasta zegypsum kunye nokufakelwa kwe-loose-fill insulation.
I-Perlite ikwaluncedo kakhulu kwiigadi nakwiindawo ezisetyenziswa kwi-hydroponic.

Ngokuyintloko zivela kwiimpawu zayo ezizodwa zomzimba nezekhemikhali:
I-Perlite izinzile ngokwasemzimbeni kwaye igcina imo yayo nokuba icinezelwe emhlabeni.
Inenqanaba le-pH elingathathi cala
Ayinazo iikhemikhali ezinobungozi kwaye yenziwe ngezinto zendalo ezifumaneka emhlabeni
Inemingxuma emangalisayo kwaye ineendawo ezininzi zokungenisa umoya ngaphakathi
Ingagcina amanzi athile ngelixa ivumela ukuba aseleyo aphume
Ezi mpawu zivumela i-perlite ukuba iququzelele iinkqubo ezimbini ezibalulekileyo kumhlaba/kwi-hydroponics, ezibalulekileyo ekukhuleni kwezityalo.
