Knowde Enhanced TDS
Identification & Functionality
- Composition
Mineral of the mica family, expanded at high temperatures to obtain a light, laminar-structure mineral of brownish color.
Features & Benefits
- Properties
Vermiculite is a pH nearly-neutral product with a low electrical conductivity. It is a very light material, suitable for farming substrates, amongst other.
- Characteristics
Vermiculite is used mixed in the substrates to improve ventilation, drainage and water retention capacity. Having a neutral pH close to 7 does not affect the plant negatively.
Vermiculite, can incorporate traces of other minerals beneficial to the plant, such as copper, magnesium or zinc, and has the ability to retain the nutrients provided by the marinade.
Applications & Uses

- Farming substrates: mixing vermiculite with substrates improves the rehydrating of the substrate.
- Direct use in hydroponic farming
- Suitable for fungus farming
- Suitable for reptile habitats creation
- Moisture and liquid absorbent
- Acoustic and thermal insulating
BURÉS’ type 3 vermiculite is sold in 100l sacks
