Perlite ore

Origins of the mineral

Perlite ore is formed through volcanic processes, where small amounts of water become trapped within the rock over time. These microscopic pockets of water give perlite its unique ability to “pop” when exposed to high temperatures.

The structure of perlite is amorphous rather than crystalline, which sets it apart from many other industrial minerals. In its natural, unprocessed state, it is typically light grey in colour.

How we can help

We combine fast, reliable dispatches with extensive crushing and screening capabilities, supported by clear communication and tailored, hands-on service. Beyond our standard perlite grades, our processing plant enables us to deliver fully customised sizing to meet your exact requirements, providing flexibility, consistency, and dependable performance with every order. 

Benefits and Application of Perlite ore

 Perlite ore is a versatile raw material that can be expanded at high temperatures to produce a range of grades for industrial and commercial use. Its lightweight, stable, and cost-effective nature makes it a reliable choice across many industries.

It can also be used directly in applications such as the foundry sector, where its properties provide clear performance benefits.


  •  Hot Topping and Risering: Prevents shrinkage in castings as a lightweight filler.
  • Ladle Topping: Cleanses molten metal with no smoke or fumes.
  • Foundry Core and Molding Sand: Reduces defects by accommodating silica expansion
  • Refractories: Suitable up to ~1,100°C, with use as backup insulation at higher temperatures.
