Premium Perlite is used extensively in horticulture. Various grades can be used for the propagation of plants. Depending on the water holding capacity and the air porosity required, a specific grade is chosen.. Our representative can help you with the correct choice for your application. Premium Perlite is used for hydroponics of many plants including tomatoes, strawberries, roses, wheatgrass, cucumbers, lettuce and many others.
A rule of thumb for choosing the correct grade of Premium Perlite is the finer the Perlite the better water holding capacity you will achieve, and the coarser the Perlite the better air porosity. Some plants prefer more air where others prefer greater water holding capabilities.
A new concept that we have introduced to the market recently is Premium Perlite packaged in 1100x150x100mm grow bags for the hydroponic industry. They are branded under the name of Premium Hydro-Perl grow bags. Premium Perlite is packaged in 100L polypropelyne bags containing a plastic inner liner to ensure product integrity until it is used. Premium Perlite is a STERILE, INERT, pH neutral product that will not break down, decompose or carry any pathogens unlike other types of media used in horticulture. This comes about due to our furnacing processes where by the perlite ore is heated up to approximately 1000° c prior to travelling along a closed stainless steel air system to a screening plant and a dust controlled bagging off point.
