Don’t worry, perlite is safe to breathe. Unlike crystalline products, it won’t damage lung tissue. Plus, the MSDS shows no hazards to human health. As with any dust, we recommend wearing a dust mask when handling the product to avoid inhaling it.

At first glance, perlite may seem pricier per kilo than other materials. But keep in mind that it’s much lighter than other options, so you get more volume per kilo.

And when it comes to spill clean-up, it’s the volume of material you need, not the weight.

Plus, perlite’s superior adsorptive capacity means you’ll use less of it to handle spills. In the end, perlite may be the most cost-effective option.

Perlite may be a rock, but it’s not your average rock. When heated to high temperatures, it expands to create a porous surface with a large surface area.

This enables it to adsorb large amounts of liquid compared to its volume, making it an effective tool for spill clean-up.

Don’t write off perlite just because it’s a rock – it’s a proven, effective adsorbent.
