Exfoliated Vermiculite
Vermiculite
Product Details
Vermiculite is a kind of natural, non-nic silicate mineral, whose raw ore looks like mica. Vermiculite is formed by the hydrothermal alteration or weathering of minerals, usually biotite and ogopite. When heated, it expands like leech. Vermiculite are divided into raw vermiculite and expanded vermiculite by stages, and according to the color, it can be divided into golden vermiculite, silvery white vermiculite, milky white vermiculite.
Exfoliated Vermiculite
Vermiculite, with layer construction and interlaminar water. It begins expend when it is heated over 200â, becoming the worm-like shape and it can be 15-25times bigger than the original volume, maximum 30 time. when it is rapidly heated to 800â. This forms the material with low density (100-300kg/m³), exnt insulation property and good hydroscopicity and ion exchange capacity.
