TPS EP-12™ Expanded Perlite Insulation - Drop Test Video

Watch as a piece of 4 x 1 TPS EP-12™ expanded perlite pipe cover is dropped from 18' down to concrete!
Expanded Perlite insulation per ASTM C610 has a 50+ year history as a molded pipe cover and block for low-high temperature pipes, tanks, vessels and equipment operating up to 1200℉. Its durably hydrophobic property along with integral inorganic silicate chemistry provides well document abilities to inhibit corrosion under insulation (CUI) and external stress corrosion cracking (ESCC) on austenitic stainless steel.
One of the most significant drawbacks of purchasing perlite pipe cover and block is its highly fragile nature. Contractors will typically add 30% extra material on their orders to allow for breakage in transit. This adds massive amounts unneeded extra cost and shipping volume for perlite projects.
TPS EP-12™ is produced with a unique perlite ore mined, expanded and hydraulically pressed in the Philippines. The special properties of this perlite allow for exceptional compressive and flexural strength along with excellent abrasion resistance and reduced friability.
