- Features
- The exfoliation range becomes 10 times its original volume and turns the dense mineral flakes into light porous granules that contain innumerable layers of air.
- The exfoliated vermiculite is light and clean, has a high value of thermal and acoustic insulation, is incombustible and insoluble to water and has the ability to absorb liquids.
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Applications
- Thermal insulation for fireplaces and boilers.
- Substrate for hydroponic crops.
- Absorbent of moisture and other liquid contaminants.
- Animals food.
- Transport for dangerous goods.
