Perlite
Perlite is a building material called pearl stone, which derives from the word “Perlstein”. They are igneous glassy volcanic rocks in acidic structure. The name Perlite comes from the word perle, which means pearl, because when some Perlite types are broken, small spheres with pearly shine are obtained. In the early 20th century, it was noticed that some rocks containing perlite expand when heated rapidly. It has been understood by the studies carried out on this that the glassy volcanic rock Perlite, which has a pearly shine, amorphous structure, can expand approximately 20 times its original volume when heated to the softening temperature range of 760-1090 °C.
OUR FACTORY
Bergama Mining was established in 2004. We are Turkey's leading producer of crushed-screened perlite suitable for use in the production of building materials, filtration, agriculture, floriculture and foundry industry. In line with our R&D studies to evaluate the potential of the perlite mine, we started to supply quality and durable insulation products to the building materials sector with the brand 'Ekokat'. It came to the fore in the sector with our insulated block, panel, plaster and screed products.
