Perlite, manufactured from perlite ore, an igneous mineral, is an excellent filtration media due to its high porosity. When a particle of perlite ore is heated to approximately 2400°F, the aluminum silicate becomes a molten liquid glass that expands explosively due to the intrinsic moisture present within the particle. The expanded perlite is then milled and separated into various grades. When perlite is applied to the filaments of the flexible tube elements, it forms a low-density, highly porous filter cake that is ideal for separation in applications with a substantial number of solids such as oil and dirt up to one (1) micron in size.
