I want to know about the amount of perlite appropriate to use and also some physical properties such as density, particle size and molucular weight which it can used in pvc pipe production.
But the large granules of expanded perlite or perlite mechanically crushed to a micro fraction powder treated as a filler-inclusion in a polymer matrix?
Saba Etemadifar I was using some very fine fractions of perlite powder in polymer concrete with vinyl ester matrix. You cannot use too much of it though because of the very developed specific surface area of crushed perlite particles that deteriorates the workability of the polymer mix. I can send you some of my papers, maybe it would help you.
