About Temperlite Insulation Sdn Bhd

Temperlite® Insulation Sdn Bhd, formerly known as ITW Insulation Systems Malaysia Sdn Bhd, was established on October 23, 1991. The main activities of Temperlite® are the production and sale of expanded perlite (cryogenic and construction grades) as well as fabricated perlite products (pipe covers and slabs). The company’s factory is located in Sepang, Selangor, Malaysia, on a one-acre site with a covered area of approximately 18,000 square feet. The company also owns an adjacent one-acre plot of land for future expansion.

Production of expanded perlite and fabricated perlite products commenced in June 1995, and the company now has a production capacity of approximately 4,600 m³ (200 tons) of expanded perlite (cryogenic grade) and approximately 750 m³ (150 tons) of fabricated perlite products per month.
