Cryogenics

Cryogenic Perlite

The unique properties of perlite have found wide acceptance in the insulating of cryogenic low temperature storage tanks (particularly for the storage of LNG), in shipping containers, cold boxes (Air Separation Units), test chambers and in food processing. Storage chambers –100°c and below are considered cryogenic, and super cold or extremely cold cryogenic fluids such …...
