Perlite is formed from the hydration of the obsidian. It is an amorphous volcanic glass whose water content which is high. The perlite is mainly found in the volcanic regions and it expands significantly when heated. After processing and milling of the perlite expanded perlite are obtained. During the expansion process, the water molecules are released which lowers its weight and density. Expanded perlite has exceptional insulation properties.
