Quality Assurance We prioritize quality assurance, ensuring that our perlite ore meets the highest industry standards.
Customization The factory has advanced production equipment and can customize processing according to demand.
Perlite is a fragile lightweight material, which gives it its water absorption and retention properties. During transportation, perlite available in the market tends to generate powder. Even when broken into small pieces, perlite still retains its water retention and breathability properties. The generation of powder is a normal phenomenon and does not affect its usability.
