उत्पाद वर्णन

Exfoliated vermiculite is a lightweight, porous, and highly absorbent material created from the natural mineral vermiculite. The "exfoliation" process is a key step that transforms the raw, dense mineral into a much larger, more useful product.

The Exfoliation Process

Exfoliation is the process of rapidly heating raw vermiculite flakes to a temperature of around 1000C (1832F). The vermiculite mineral has water molecules trapped between its layered silicate sheets. When heated, these water molecules turn into steam, and the pressure from the steam forces the layers to expand and separate. This expansion can increase the volume of the vermiculite by up to 20 times its original size, giving it a distinctive accordion-like or worm-like shape.

This process results in a very low-density, sterile, and fire-resistant material with a large number of microscopic air pockets.

Key Properties

• Lightweight and Low Density: The massive expansion during exfoliation dramatically reduces its bulk density. This makes it easy to handle and ideal for applications where weight is a concern.

• Excellent Thermal and Acoustic Insulation: The countless air pockets created in the exfoliation process make it an outstanding insulator against both heat and sound.

• High Absorbency: Exfoliated vermiculite can absorb and hold a significant amount of water and other liquids, making it valuable for a variety of applications.

• Fire Resistance: Vermiculite is naturally non-combustible and has a very high melting point, making it a highly effective material for fireproofing.

• Chemically Inert and Non-toxic: In its pure form, exfoliated vermiculite is sterile, odorless, and chemically stable. It will not react with other materials, decompose, or rot, making it safe for use in horticulture, packaging, and other applications.

• High Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC): This property allows it to hold onto and slowly release nutrients, which is a major advantage in gardening and agriculture.

Versatile Soil Conditioner for Agriculture

Exfoliated Vermiculite is an exceptional soil amendment, enriching soil by enhancing water and nutrient retention. Its granular nature allows for easy blending into various soil types, making it highly effective in agricultural fields, nurseries, and horticultural applications. The organic properties promote healthier root systems and robust crop yields.
