Material Notes:
Vermiculite is the geological name given to a group of hydrated laminar minerals which are aluminum iron magnesium silicates resembling mica in appearance.Vermiculite is a safe inert material, light in color.When heated it expands up to 30 times its original volume converting dense flakes into lightweight, porous granules containing innumerable minute air layers.Exfoliated vermiculite is light and clean to handle, has a high insulation value, acoustic insulating properties and will absorb and hold a range of liquids. The granules are non-combustible and are insoluble in water and organic solvents. Applications: Heat and Acoustic insulation, floor and roof screeds, flue linings, passive fire protection, cements, construction boards and panels.
