Perlite Super Coarse Horticultural Grade Expanded Perlite

Horticulture Grade Perlite – Horticultural grade perlite is derived from a naturally occurring, volcanic rock. When furnaced at high temperatures, perlite “pops” and expands up to 10 times its original volume. The resulting, lightweight particles are made up of microscopic spheres with a porous, irregular surface that stores moisture and promotes plant growth.
Our perlite products have proven themselves as a consistent growing media for horticulture because they improve the characteristics of every organic material they are mixed with including peat moss, compost, bark, coir, or in native soil. Horticultural grade perlite is stable and will not degrade or compact over time. It maintains consistent aeration and drainage for plant roots and will not decompose or deplete nitrogen levels in the soil.
Adding perlite to soil and growing media lightens the soil and introduces pore spaces that allow air and water to penetrate the root system. Excess moisture is permitted to drain out and maintain balanced air and moisture conditions which contribute to healthy biological and microbial activity, and minimize the chances for rot.
Uses – Propagation of seedlings and cuttings – Soil conditioning – Hydroponics – Roof deck gardens and eco-roofs – Nursery stock – Hanging baskets – Turf enhancement – Newly planted trees and plants

Red Lava Stones Aquarium Rock for Aquascaping Terrariums, Paludariums,Vivariums, Reptile and Amphibian Enclosures, Fish Tank Decoration Landscape Stone

【Pure Natural Lava Stone】Red lava is of volcanic origin and is rich in minerals and trace elements. It remains in its original state, except for being hand-picked and cleaned. It has a rough texture and is rich in pores, so it has a very large surface area and a lighter mass than common stones.

【Contrasting Red】It has a actively and naturally support the contrasting colors in the landscape, i.e. black and greenmakes aquascaping richer. Red lava stones are attractive to some ornamental fish and induce them to produce brilliant colors.

【Suitable for Natural and Aquatic Landscapes】Red Lava is always paired with branch woods, roots, and easy aquatic plants like Anubias, Bucephalandra, and fern plants. The different shapes and sizes are perfect for a nature aquarium or Isagumi style layout in planted aquarium.

【Porous Structure for Bacteria Cultivation and Water Purification】The porous texture of lava rock creates a good habitat for the survival and development of beneficial bacteria such as nitrifying bacteria, making the aquarium environment healthier. The rough surface also has a filtering function that absorbs harmful bacteria, debris, feces and harmful heavy metal ions, keeping the water in the tank clean.

【Stable Nature and Activated Water】Lava stone is stable in nature, so it does not affect the composition of the aquarium and increase the hardness of the water, and it helps to stabilize the PH value and mineral content. It also promotes the activity of oxygen ions in the water, which helps the metabolism of plants and animals in the aquarium.

Orchids pine bark/landscaping pine bark

Yes, pine bark is a type of organic material that is often used as a soil amendment or as a component in potting mixes for plants. Pine bark is the outer layer of the tree trunk and branches of pine trees and is a byproduct of the lumber industry.

Pine bark has several benefits when used as a soil amendment. One of the main benefits is its ability to improve soil structure. Pine bark is a porous material that allows for better water and air circulation in the soil, which is essential for healthy plant growth.

Pine bark can also help to retain moisture in the soil, which can be particularly useful in dry climates or for plants that require consistent moisture levels. Additionally, pine bark can help to regulate soil temperature, keeping it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, which can promote root growth and protect plants from extreme temperatures.

When used as a component in potting mixes, pine bark can provide similar benefits. It can help to improve drainage, retain moisture, and regulate temperature in the potting mix, creating a healthy growing environment for plants. Pine bark is also a sustainable and renewable resource, making it an eco-friendly option for gardeners.

However, it’s important to note that pine bark may not be suitable for all plants or growing situations. Some plants may require a different type of soil structure or pH balance, and pine bark may not be the best choice in those cases. Additionally, pine bark can be acidic, so it’s important to test and adjust the pH level of the soil or potting mix accordingly.

For example, plants that prefer a more alkaline soil, such as some succulents or cacti, may not be the best choice for a potting mix that contains pine bark, which is acidic.

Additionally, some plants may require a different type of soil structure, such as those that prefer a heavier, clay-based soil. Pine bark is a light, airy material, and may not provide the structure that these plants need to thrive.

Leca clay balls expanded clay pebbles characteristic.

LECA clay ball density

Leca clay balls expanded clay pebbles is a kind of lightweight aggregate produced by foaming in a rotary kiln. It has a spherical shape, a smooth and hard surface, and a honeycomb inside, which has the characteristics of low density, low thermal conductivity and high strength. In the refractory industry, leca clay balls expanded clay pebbless are mainly used as aggregates for heat-insulating refractory materials. The bulk density of the leca clay balls expanded clay pebbles itself is less than 1100kg/m3, generally 300-900kg/m3. The density of concrete made of leca clay balls expanded clay pebbless as aggregate is 1100-1800kg/m3.

Leca clay ball concrete compressive strength

The corresponding compressive strength of leca clay ball concrete is 30.5-40.0Mpa. It is hard on the outside, but there are many micropores inside. These micropores give leca clay balls  light weight properties. The concrete density of No. 200 fly ash leca clay balls expanded clay pebbles is about 1600kg/m3. At present, the sand of my country’s leca clay balls expanded clay pebbless is mainly used for petroleum proppant, and it is also one of the sand varieties of leca currently in demand, also known as sand for oil fracturing proppant leca. 

Advantage of clay aggregate concrete

The concrete of ordinary fly clay ball or the clay aggregate blocks integrate heat preservation, earthquake resistance, frost resistance, fire resistance and other properties. Especially the fire resistance is more than 4 times that of ordinary concrete. For the same refractory period, the thickness of the concrete plate of the expanded clay pebbles is 20% thinner than that of ordinary concrete.

clay aggregate blocks integrate heat preservation.

In addition, expanded clay pebbless can also be used to prepare refractory concrete with a refractoriness below 1200°C. At a high temperature of 650 ° C, the concrete of expanded clay pebbles can maintain 85% of the strength at room temperature. Ordinary concrete can only maintain 35% to 75% of its strength at room temperature.

Density and fluidization rate factors of clay pebbles/ leca blocks

Concrete is generally used instead of gravel and pebbles. The solid waste of leca blocks, varies in color, usually black, and the matte surface is smooth. The internal structure is fine honeycomb.

Leca blocks 3 types

According to the density, they are divided into three types: general density type, ultra-light density type, and optical density type. It has high strength and is used for insulating concrete or reinforced concrete structures. The price is more reasonable. 

Leca bolcks is economic

High-quality leca blocks cost affects project investment and operating costs. Although cheap natural materials are used for filter media, investment can be saved, but the properties such as density and fluidization rate are not suitable for backwashing, which may increase energy consumption and affect operating costs.

Some synthetic filter materials have good performance but are costly, price is too high. Therefore, the choice should take into account both performance and price. 

The nitrification function of the biological aerated filter is the best when the particle size is 2-4mm.

At present, the particle size of the filter material commonly used in the biological aerated filter is 3-6mm, and the thickness of the filter layer is 3-4mm.

Leca blocks benefits

 The clay pebbles/ leca is a kind of light artificial particle with unique performance, which is widely used in the preparation of high-rise building structure concrete, roof slope finding, thermal insulation, sewage treatment, landscaping, soilless cultivation and other fields.

It has a proper packing density of the filter material, and the layer voids are evenly distributed, making backwashing easy, with low backwashing consumption, small water consumption, small water head loss, and no material leakage during backwashing.

The high-quality have overcome the shortcomings of backwashing being difficult to control and running out of materials. It adopts good particle size distribution, strong dirt holding capacity and high utilization rate of filter material. The water head increases slowly, the operation period is long, and the water production is large. The concrete of clay pebbles/ leca blocks is better than ordinary concrete in acid, alkali corrosion and frost resistance.

Concrete of clay pebbles/ leca blocks is an excellent building material

For the concrete of No. 250 fly ash clay pebbles/ leca block, the strength loss of 15 freeze-thaw cycles is not more than 2%. In 1976, relevant departments conducted actual measurements on the concrete projects of leca blocks built since 1985. The results showed that no matter whether it was prefabricated or cast-in-place, indoor or outdoor, the steel bars contained in them were not corroded. The depth of carbonization is generally not more than 30 mm, and the strength can continue to grow in the later stage. It can be seen that the concrete of clay pebbles/ leca blocks is an excellent building material and should be vigorously promoted.
