| Vermiculite is one of the safest, most unique minerals in the entire world. A hydrated Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, it is lightweight, inorganic (incombustible), compressible, highly absorbent, non-reactive (yet co***tible in many chemical compositions as a functional filler), may have a high cation exchange capacity (surface chemistry may be modified), and is available locally and globally. Vermiculite is used in thousands of applications from potting soils, light weight concrete, fire protection construction materials, intumescent applications, as a UN approved packaging material for the safe shipment of hazardous liquids, texturizers in paints and coatings, and most recently as nanocomposites for films, coatings and barrier applications. |
