Perterra - Expanded Perlite

Lightweight volcanic mineral from Milos, Greece for superior soil conditioning.

Perterra

Perterra is produced from mineral perlite, mined on the island of Milos in Greece. Perlite is an inorganic aluminosilicate mineral of volcanic origin with 3-4% crystalline water in its structure. Without any chemical admixture, perlite is heated to approximately 1,000°C, resulting in its expansion. The material is very lightweight and can hold up to 3-4 times its weight in water with total porosity of about 95%.

  • Superior Aeration

    Prevents soil compaction with 95% total porosity, allowing roots to breathe.

  • Optimal Moisture Control

    Water holding capacity of 420-440 ml H₂O per 100g of sample.

  • Temperature Stability

    Chemically inert with neutral pH (7.4±1%), protecting roots from fluctuations.

  • Certified Quality

    No radioactivity detected, sterile and free from pathogens and weed seeds.
