Perlite, especially in its PERLITEMP form, is actively becoming the leader in improving the characteristics of the insulation industry due to its high sustainability and effectiveness. Amol Minechem Limited is able to use perlite as an insulation solution that has exceptional performance and equally enhanced environmental characteristics.
Thermal Insulation Efficiency
Among the components of PERLITEMP, expanded perlite is worth highlighting because it has a rather low thermal conductivity. This material has up to millions of vitrified aerothermal cells that considerably minimize heat exchange. The thermal conductivity of PERLITEMP is extremely low at 0. 62 W/MK at 25 °C. Due to the small value of the thermal conductivity, heat losses are minimized, which makes it suitable for use in extremely high-temperature conditions.
Fire Resistance and Safety
PERLITEMP is not just an effective insulator but also a guardian against fire. Its outstanding fire resistance capabilities, a significant characteristic of its use in industries, provide a sense of security. Unlike most insulating materials, PERLITEMP does not fuel fires but rather shields pipelines and equipment during fire incidents. The non-emission of dangerous fumes and smoke in direct flames further enhances its safety profile, making it suitable for high-risk areas such as oil and gas storage tanks.

Non-Corrosive and water-repellant
It should also be noted that an unusually high water-repellent effect characterizes PERLITEMP. This characteristic makes it impossible for water to infiltrate the insulation, thus minimizing the chances of the underlying material corroding. That is advantageous compared to various other kinds of insulation, such as calcium silicate and mineral wool, for example, which is generally absorbent of water and hence causes its deterioration and pulls off its insulating property. Regardless of water absorption, the composite exhibits low thermal conductivity, as seen from the thermal conductivity of PERLITEMP.
Summing Up
PERLITEMP, by Amol Minechem Limited, is a testament to the unbeatable sustainability of perlite as an insulation solution. Its thermal efficiency, fire rating, non-corrosive and water-repellent properties, and mechanical strength make it an essential choice for insulation. But beyond these, its environmental friendliness stands out, appealing to the audience’s sense of responsibility and commitment to sustainability.
