Perlite is made from a mined volcanic glass of the same name. As a raw material it contains water, trapped by the rapid cooling of lava. The moisture vaporizes explosively when heat is applied.
The expanded material is a brilliant white, due to the reflectivity of the trapped bubbles. Unexpanded (raw) perlite has a bulk density around 1100 kg/m 3 (1.1 g/cm 3), while typical expanded perlite has a bulk density of about 30â150 kg/m 3 (0.03-0.150 g/cm 3).erlite mine in Owens Valley, California. Perlite is a non-renewable resource. The world reserves of perlite are estimated at 700 million tonnes. In 2011, 1.7 million tonnes were produced, mostly by Greece (500,000 t), United States (375,000 t) and Turkey (220,000 t).
