Perlite

Perlite, provided by CemteQ, is a high-quality construction-grade perlite known for its exceptional characteristics suitable for sustainable building projects. This inorganic material, resembling a silicious ‘rice crispy,’ is heat processed into a frothy, white glassy substance filled with tiny air bubbles, offering superior thermal insulation properties.

Specifications: Perlite is supplied loose in 100l bags, boasting a low bulk density of 70-80kg/m3 and excellent pH neutrality, ensuring it does not alter material properties when mixed. It’s inherently fireproof, odourless, non-combustible, and resistant to rot and decay, making it an enduring choice for construction.

Uses:

• Lightweight and insulating wall plaster.
• Cavity wall insulation.
• Decorative applications and moulding.
• Insulating, fire-resistant cladding.

Benefits:

• Significantly enhances thermal resistance, approximately 10 times that of sand and stone.
• Chemically inert and environmentally friendly, contributing to a lower carbon footprint.
• Offers acoustic insulation and fire protection, meeting high sustainable construction standards.
