                             PERLITE FILTER AID TYPE 50 S
Perlite is a natural aluminiumsilicate.
Perlite type 50 S has a very low solubility in water and is therefore an optimal filteraid.
The perlite type 50 S can be used from pH 1 to pH 13 as it is a stable product.
Our perlites can be used for many different filter-applications as it is an inert and sterilized mineral.
Our perlites are Halal- and Kosher certified and we work in conformity with ISO-9001.
