Construction Perlite (Perlisiol P12)

Perlite has exceptional heat and noise insulation properties thanks to its porous structure.  In buildings, perlite is used in plasters, cement finishes, and ceiling coverings as well as to ensure heat and noise insulation between floors. It is lightweight and thus reduces death risk in earthquakes to a great extent by decreasing the load of building.  As it is an inorganic material, it does not lose its properties and it is fire resistant preventing the distribution of heat during a fire.

Use in construction sector:
a)    Perlite plasters
b)    Light insulation concrete with perlite aggregates (with cement and plaster bound)
c)    Light structural elements with perlite aggregates
d)    Other light structural elements
          
APPLICATION OF PERLISIOL PRODUCTS

Cement proportion in perlisiol mixtures must not exceeded 200 kg/m3. This proportion can practically be achieved by mixing 300 liters of Perlisol (3 packages) with 1 package of cement (50 kg). For detailed application, the steps below must be followed.  

» 65-70 L of water in concrete mixing machine (max. 300 liters for 1 m3 mixture).
» 1 package of (50 kg) n.p cement is added for to reach sorbet form.
» 3 packages of Perlisiol (300 L) is added and mixed until obtaining a homogeneous mixture.

Caution:  Even the mixture seem dry, the water proportion must be exceed the given amounts.  After mixing Perlisiol sufficiently, the mixture should become plastic which means Perlisol is ready to use.  A 5-10 cm precipitation will form at the end of this process.

» If desired natural sand can be added up to %10 percent of the mixture in the last step.
» in practice, the loss in Perlisiol grout will be around 15-20%.
