Overview of Perlite Concrete Applications:

Perlite concrete aggregate combined with portland cement and water produces a lightweight insulating concrete used for lightweight roof decks, floor fills, lightweight structural decks, insulation for steam and coolant lines, bases of cryogenic storage tanks, oven insulation, interstitial spaces in reconditioned water and sewer lines, interstitial floors in hospitals, lightweight pre-cast forms and blocks, statuary, basic fills, and many other applications where a lightweight permanent concrete is desired. Although many uses could be described in greater detail, the most common and well-established use has been for insulating flat roof decks, and much of the information later on this page has been focusing only on this particular use.
