INTRODUCTION:
Perlite is a siliceous volcanic rock containing small amount of combined water. When crude perlite ore particles are heated to above 850 Deg. Centigrade, they expand to form countless sealed glassy cells which possess a number of inherent properties.At Keltech Energies, we specialize in producing premium-grade Perlite as we are the leading

This expertise allows them to manufacture perlite products that meet the specific requirements of different industries.
FEATURES OF PERLITE:
Expanded perlite is available in different particle sizes with varying bulk density. The particles are chemically inert, very light weight, mildly abrasive and inorganic material with a porous structure.
APPLICATION IN GARMENTS:
In the ready garments industry, garments during tailoring gather dirt, grease and oil. These have to be removed by washing prior to pressing and packing
The washing of garments is generally carried out in tumbling type automatic washing machines, using a cleaning solution consisting of surface-active agent enzyme, foaming agent and extender. For heavier garments like jeans, trousers etc., the removal of grease and oil requires the cleaning solution to be mildly abrasive by using extenders.
Perlite, with its light weight porous structure which allows adhesion of the surface active ingredients, mildly abrasive slowly breakdown into smaller particles and aids in removing the grease / oil marks completely
ADVANTAGES OF PERLITE:
•It is an inorganic material, which is chemically inert. Does not dissolve in any liquid
•The porous structure allows perlite to hold water with the surface-active ingredients on its surface thereby reducing the requirement of water for washing.
•Perlite products is a potting mixes prevent waterlogging and ensure that plant roots receive the oxygen they need.
•Perlite India has the ability to retain moisture and nutrients without becoming waterlogged.
•Excellent stability even in hard water.
