Perlite enclosed hollow spheres are discreet bubbles containing a multi-cellular core. They are produced under our stringent quality-controlled standards to guarantee consistency. We make these microsphere perlites with special surface treatments to provide additional benefits for specific uses. At Silbrico, we have developed a series of product lines for these grades of perlites. Learn more about their uses below.

This ultra-fine perlite is similar in size to microsphere perlite but is made by milling and classifying expanded perlite under our stringent quality-controlled conditions to create particles with jagged interlocking structures. Of course, with our Silbrico standards, consistency is always guaranteed. Our product line for this grade of perlite is Sil-Kleer.

At Silbrico, we refer to these industrial perlite grades as macroparticles. Coarser grades are clusters of glass bubbles containing a multi-cellular core, offering many industrial benefits like being lightweight and insulating. We apply non-flammable water repellent treatment to certain grades, which significantly improves the water repellent properties of perlite. Ryolex is our line of macroparticles.
