Perlite Sand
 
Size and Application of Perlite sand
 
8-12 mesh   12-18 mesh   18-20 mesh  | After expanding, it is widely used as the materials of keeping warm and heat insulation in the field of construction.    | 
20-30 mesh   30-50 mesh  | After expanding, it can be used as covering agent and deslagging agent in the industry of casting steel.  | 
50-70 mesh  | After expanding, it can be used as the filtering agent in the field of beer and medicine, and the insulation for cryogenic tanks of oxygen machine.  |
