Vermiculite Grade 2. 33/Pallet

Vermiculite is a mineral similar to mica. During Exfoliation, Vermiculite is subjected to intense heat and expands up to twenty or more times its original size. As Exfoliation occurs, millions of microscopic gaps are created within the plates which give Vermiculite excellent insulation and water retention properties. Vermiculite is lightweight, air entraining and highly absorbent. It is inert and does not harm the environment. It is chemically neutral and sterile immediately after exfoliation. 

Exfoliated Vermiculite is a lightweight accordion shaped granule which presents itself as a coloured wormlike particle ranging in colour from a light beige colour to dark brown.

Grade 2: Fine

Application

The valuable absorptive properties of exfoliated Vermiculite enable it to be used in a wide variety of applications across many industries. Some examples of these applications are:

• For Agricultural use: potting mixes, seed germination, animal feed, propagation, soil conditioner, hydroponics, fertilizers

• For Building use: fireproofing, acoustic as well as anti-condensation coatings, anti-allergenic thermal loft and cavity insulation, absorptive and anti-spalling coatings, floor screeds. 

• For Industrial use: castables, brake pads, furnaces, filtration, high temperature insulation, waste disposal, absorbent and packaging of dangerous goods.
