Multiperl® Horticulture

Multiperl® Horticulture

Multiperl® Horticulture is expanded mineral Perlite with ideal properties to be used in horticulture.

Perlite is a generic name of a volcanic mineral, when submitted to high temperatures ranging from 800° C (1,472°F) expands up to 20 times its original volume in a similar way as popcorn giving place to an inert material and extremely light weight with a glassy cell structure.

This cell structure is formed on the outside by multiple fractured bubbles that impart to each particle a large surface area, which allows it to retain up to 5 times its own weight in liquid that may be water, fertilizers, fungicides, herbicides and other products for plant growth.
