WAXOUT is a high quality perlite powder with the highest filtration rate.

Perlite is a rock of volcanic origin. Perlite products are made from amorphous aluminosilicate rock that has very specific properties: it contains water, which expands to become vapor when heated, and forms a frothy structure. The degree of frothiness is highly dependent on the hardness of the particular perlite ore and the concentration of water. Only a few deposits have the ore with the necessary characteristics to produce of expanded perlite.
