NAICS Code 327992-05 Description (8-Digit)

Perlite & Perlite Products Manufacturing is a subdivision of the Ground or Treated Mineral and Earth Manufacturing industry. This industry involves the production of perlite and perlite products, which are made from volcanic glass that has been heated to a high temperature, causing it to expand. Perlite is a lightweight, porous material that is used in a variety of applications, including horticulture, construction, and industrial processes. The manufacturing process involves crushing and screening the raw perlite ore, heating it to a high temperature, and then cooling it rapidly to create the expanded perlite product. The resulting product is then graded and packaged for distribution.
