Cryogenic Insulation Services
Super-cold cryogenic fluids, such as hydrogen and helium, are typically stored in double-walled vessels with perlite-filled annular spaces. Cryogenic perlite is a finer grade of perlite with consistencies similar sand. At Dicaperl, we provide cryogenic insulation services and produce an extremely lightweight expanded perlite suitable for use in industrial storage vessels.
