✓ Stable Furnace Operations
✓ Batch-to-Batch Consistency
PREMIUM SLAG MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS

Premium GPM Turkish
Perlite Ore

Authentically sourced from GPM Company, Turkey — engineered for superior thermal insulation, slag coagulation, and complete refractory protection in demanding foundry operations.

Thermal Performance

Initiates instantaneous expansion upon contact with liquid iron at temperatures exceeding 850°C to 900°C, forming a lightweight, highly insulating cellular blanket across the ladle or furnace top.

  • Activates at 850°C – 900°C
  • Instant Cellular Blanket Formation
  • Superior Furnace Top Insulation

Volumetric Expansion

Swells rapidly up to 20 times its original particle volume upon heat activation, creating an expansive insulating cellular structure that blankets the entire melt surface efficiently.

  • Up to 20× Original Volume
  • Rapid Particle Expansion
  • Full Melt Surface Coverage

Slag Coagulation Mechanism

Mechanically binds and traps suspended dross, non-metallic inclusions, and furnace slag into a single, highly cohesive crust for rapid, single-gesture skimming and cleaner melt quality.

  • Traps Dross & Non-Metallic Inclusions
  • Forms Cohesive Single Crust
  • Single-Gesture Skimming

Refractory Protection

Entirely chemically inert — will not alter base melt chemistry or chemically attack acidic, basic, or neutral furnace linings, ensuring long-term lining integrity and reduced maintenance costs.

  • Chemically Inert Composition
  • Compatible with All Lining Types
  • Zero Melt Chemistry Interference
✓ Direct GPM Turkey Import
✓ Up to 20× Volume Expansion
✓ Single-Gesture Slag Skimming
✓ Chemically Inert & Lining Safe

Operational Guidelines For
Melt Supervisors

Standardized application and storage protocols ensure consistent consumable performance, improved furnace efficiency, and safer foundry operations.

01

Application Protocol

Apply Perlite Ore evenly across the ladle or furnace bath surface immediately before skimming operations.

Allow approximately 3–5 seconds for complete volumetric expansion before initiating slag removal.

02

Storage Directive

All foundry chemicals and consumables are maintained within dedicated moisture-controlled storage environments.

This prevents contamination and preserves consistent operational performance throughout the storage cycle.

03

Furnace Ready Supply

Controlled storage eliminates hydrogen pick-up risks and ensures immediate charging capability without additional preparation.

Materials remain production-ready for uninterrupted melting operations.
