Perterra

Perterra

Coarse-grained agricultural perlite (1-5 mm) suitable for soil improvement and use in seedbeds, root beds and planting beds

PERTERRA is produced from the mineral perlite which is mined in Milos. Perlite is an inorganic aluminosilicate mineral of volcanic origin with 3-4% crystalline water. Without any chemical admixture, perlite is heated to 1000°C, a temperature which causes it to swell. The expanded product is further processed to perfect its properties and then packaged. This is how Perterra is produced and available in 1-5mm diameter granules for use in agricultural applications.
