Vermiculite can be divided into vermiculite flake and expanded vermiculite.After high temperature roasting, the volume of vermiculite can be rapidly expanded by 6-20 times, and the specific gravity after expansion is 60-180kg/m3, with strong thermal insulation performance.
Vermiculite introductions
Vermiculite is a natural, inorganic, non-toxic mineral which expands at high temperatures. It is a relatively rare mineral and belongs to the silicate group. Its crystal structure is monoclinic, and its appearance looks like mica. Vermiculite has great effect on soil nutrition because of its ion-exchange capacity.

Vermiculite characters and application
Vermiculite is widely used in agriculture, metallurgy, thermal insulation, agriculture and forestry and other industries
Expanded
vermiculite has low thermal conductivity and it is a good insulating
material. Good quality of expanded vermiculite, the highest temperature
can reach 1100 ℃. In addition, expanded vermiculite has good electrical
insulation. Expanded vermiculite is widely used in thermal insulation
material, fireproof material, seedling, flower planting, tree planting,
friction material, sealing material, electric insulation material,
coating, sheet material, paint, rubber, refractory material, hard water
softener, smelting, construction, shipbuilding, chemistry and other
industries
