Perlite is not a trade name but a generic term for naturally occurring siliceous rock. The distinguishing feature which sets Perlite apart from other volcanic glasses is that when heated to a suitable point in its softening range, it expands from four to twenty times its original volume.
Character: Non-toxic, flavorless, lightweight, corrosion resisting, netural PH 6.5-7.5 etc.
Size: 100mesh, 200mesh, 0.15-1.18mm, 1-3mm, 2-4mm, 3-6mm, 4-8mm etc
