In addition to its lightweight nature, perlite concrete offers many advantages beyond structural and load-bearing applications. A perlite concrete is more noise-reducing and thermally insulating than conventional concrete. Lighter weights have greater insulative properties.
Other Perlite Concrete Applications
- Tank Insulation
- Pool Bases
- Sound/Firewalls
- Chimney Lining
General Considerations
- Perlite/cement mixes with sand will have greater density and strength.
- Medium-weight aggregate (pumice or expanded shale) increases density and compressive strength.
- When fibers are added to perlite concrete, it becomes stronger and more resistant to shrinking and cracking.
- When air-entraining agents are added to the mix, the density and compressive strength of the mix are reduced and the freeze/thaw performance of the mix is improved.
- Compressive strength can be increased by varying aggregate sizes. To increase strength, super-plasticizers and water reducers can be used.
