The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of İzmir (Menderes-Cumaovası) expanded perlite as a construction raw material by determining its characteristic properties, as well as its physical properties at different temperatures (up to 600°C). The perlites, having glassy, porous structure, were found to contain 70.68 % SiO2 and 13.04 % Al2O3. The physical properties of the perlites changed with temperature. The highest surface area, 524 m2/g, was obtained at 400°C. The physical properties were found to have high statistical relation. It was concluded that expanded perlite aggregates could be used as a construction raw material.
