1. used to filter liquor, oil, medicine, food and dirty water
2.Perlite ore includes perlite, obsidian and pitchstone.
Perlite is siliceous volcanic glass engendered from volcano eruption, it is named for its distinctive concentric cracks that is similar as pearls. Perlite ore includes perlite, obsidian and pitchstone. After heating to high temperature, perlite expandes into the new style light weight material. Its non-toxic, tasteless, fireproof, heat insulating and sound absorptive, and also with low heat conduction coefficient, stable chemical property and application in wide temperature scale ect.
