Perlite is extremely lightweight, and when incorporated into the construction of shade nets, it can help reduce the overall weight of the product. This is particularly useful for ease of installation and transportation.

Perlite has excellent insulating properties, which can be beneficial in applications where shading nets are used for temperature control. It can help reduce heat transfer and maintain a cooler environment beneath the shade net.

Perlite is inherently fire-resistant due to its high water content. By adding perlite to the shade net material, it can enhance its fire resistance, making it safer in fire-prone environments. Perlite can help reduce shrinkage and warping during the manufacturing process, leading to shade nets with improved dimensional stability and reduced distortion.
