CEVAHIR PERLITE

Since Turkey holds 70% of the world’s perlite reserves, Cevahir Perlite started its mining operations there in 2012 and established its plant in Bergama, Izmir.

Due to its low density there are many commercial applications of perlite, including for example perlites for metallurgical and agricultural use as well as for the refrigeration and construction industry.

Perlites for use in metallurgy are being used in numerous iron and steel foundries with excellent results as slag binders.
