Perlite is better...
Perlite loose-fill masonry insulation is free flowing and completely fills all core holes, ear holes, mortar lines and every crevice thus assuring a completely insulated wall with no internal convection currents.
Perlite loose-fill masonry insulation is permanent and non-settling thus assuring the highest level of performance for the life of the wall.
The fire rating of 8 inch masonry block is doubled from 2 hours to 4 hours when its cores are filled with perlite loose-fill masonry insulation.
Perlite loose-fill masonry insulation is inorganic, asbestos-free, non-toxic and rot, vermin and termite resistant with a neutral pH.
Manufactured to conform to ASTM specification C-549.
Perlite loose-fill masonry insulation is noncombustible with a fusion point of approximately 2300°F.
Guarded hot box tests of full scale wall systems have proven that perlite loose-fill masonry fill insulation is superior to EPS inserts, EPS beads and vermiculite.
