Vermiculite

Vermiculite is a natural mineral that has several applications in construction, horticulture, and industry. This mineral belongs to the phyllosilicate group and has the property of expanding significantly when heated. This process is known as exfoliation, a procedure that results in a lightweight, expanded material. The colour of vermiculite depends on the mineral's origin and ranges from brown to beige.

Applications ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Due to its versatile qualities, vermiculite has many applications as an eco-friendly material in various fields:


Fire protection applications

Due to its refractory properties, vermiculite is often used in fire-resistant materials.


Packaging

Vermiculite is also used as a packaging material, particularly for packaging fragile and hazardous products.


Horticulture

Vermiculite is used in horticulture as a soil amendment. It optimises soil aeration and allows for good water retention, which is beneficial for plant and crop growth.


Industry and construction

Due to its lightness and insulating properties, vermiculite is often added to building materials and is frequently used as an insulation material. VermiPrime is supplied as a semi-finished bulk product for use in its own products.
