Perlite in Kenya

Perlite is a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed when lava cools rapidly. It contains a small amount of trapped water within its structure.

When heated to temperatures between 850°C and 1100°C, the trapped moisture vaporizes and causes the mineral to expand dramatically, producing a lightweight material known as expanded perlite.

This expansion process can increase the volume of perlite by up to 20 times its original size.

The result is a white, lightweight, porous material with exceptional insulating and water-retention properties
