Perlite in action
One substrate. Many crops.
Perlite helps establish a controlled balance of water and air around the roots, while nutrition and irrigation remain in the grower’s hands.
The living rhythm of a greenhouse
Irrigation and nutrition are tuned to each plant, while the porous medium helps keep air close to the roots.
Vegetable crops
Perlite substrate supports a broad range of greenhouse vegetables. Irrigation is adjusted to each stage of plant development.
Berries and fruiting crops
Each fruiting crop receives its own irrigation strategy while perlite maintains a stable porous root environment.
Flowers and potted plants
A clean mineral medium with an open structure supports flowering crops, seedlings and professional container production.
Beyond the greenhouse
Perlite in filtration
Expanded perlite is also used as a mineral filter aid. Its porous structure helps create a permeable filter layer for clarifying process liquids.
Light mineral · high surface area · clear filtrateThe exact grade and filtration settings are selected for each industrial process.
Clarifying edible oils
Perlite helps form a permeable filter cake that supports the removal of suspended solids during industrial clarification of edible vegetable oils.

Different applications. One natural mineral.
From root media to filter layers, the process and perlite grade are selected for the task.
