| General comment | EcoSpold 2 intermediate exchange, ID = 1f1eca90-d90c-40ea-bcbb-1c821e3bfa0d The product perlite represents a natural glass that is usually black or gray, but sometimes brownish red. It has curved shrinkage cracks, and therefore breaks up into spheroidal granules. It is usually produced by rapid cooling of rhyolitic melts (rhyolite being the volcanic equivalent of granite). Being a glass, perlite contains few crystals and has a low water content. Naturally-occurring glasses containing 3 - 8 % water are known as pitchstone. Perlite is usually used in its expanded form. |
