Two hundred years in the future, in a fully colonized solar system, police detective Josephus Miller (Thomas Jane), who was born in the asteroid belt, is given the assignment to find a missing young woman; Julie Mao (Florence Faivre).
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.
Expanded perlite grains have a low density that ranges from 70 to 600 kg/m 3; they are thus suitable for use as sand or rubble in aggregates for lightweight concrete as well as in heat-insulating products, for example, those made from perlite and bitumens, perlite and silicates, and perlite and ceramics.
