China Raw Gold Crude Vermiculite Or Silver Vermiculite factory and manufacturers

Raw Gold Crude Vermiculite Or Silver Vermiculite

Vermiculite is a kind of natural, non-toxic, inorganic silicate mineral, whose raw ore looks like mica. Vermiculite is formed by the hydrothermal alteration or weathering of minerals, usually biotite and phlogopite. 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.

Product Description

Vermiculite flake is the name of vermiculite raw ore and the general name of unexpanded vermiculite. After the vermiculite is mined out, the impurities are removed, and the surface of vermiculite is flaky. Therefore, it called vermiculite flake, which is also called raw ore vermiculite, raw vermiculite, unexpanded vermiculite and non foamed vermiculite.

Raw vermiculite is a natural mineral, non-toxic, will expand at high temperature under the action of mineral. It is alternatively rare mineral, which belongs to the portland. The crystal structure is monoclinic, from the shape it looks like mica. Certain granite hydrated vermiculite is generated. The ability of ion exchange vermiculite, its soil nutrition has a great role.Vermiculite can be used as construction materials, adsorbents, fireproof insulation, mechanical lubricant, soil conditioner and so on, a wide range of uses.

Processed Vermiculite

Vermiculite may be milled before or after exfoliation according to the range of particle sizes required. Such milled or ground material may be used for the production of sound-absorbing coatings; Condensation control paints; High performance gaskets and seals and for upgrading the fire resistance of organic foams and other polymer based system. Exfoliated vermiculite can be colored to suit its end use.
