Perlite functions as a filter aid to facilitate easy separation of the liquid from the solid particles in industrial filtration by improving flow rate of filtrate and also achieving the required clarity. Perlite does not interfere chemically with the slurry and impart no taste, colour or odour to the filtrate product and this quality has extended its use in the food and beverage industries. Other applications include, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, water, paints and resins, oils, sugar, beer, wine and industrial coatings.
