Is Prusament Pearl a PLA Silk variant?

Hi,

In my understanding, PLA Silks have weaker layer-to-layer adhesion and can become more shiny if printed at higher temperatures, thus why I'm asking: Can the Prusament Pearl filament line be classified as a PLA Silk variant? 

I noticed that when purging PLA from the nozzle, the "normal" PLA purge as you'd imagine, but all PLA Silk that I've pried expand /swell up immediately after leaving the nozzle. I noticed that the Prusament Pearl also does this expanding / swelling so I was wondering if this is a Silk variant.

Seems like the answer was right in front of me, it says on the box. Apparently the "Pearl" line is PLA Silk, whilst the "Galaxy" line is not silk.
