WHAT IS VERMICULITE?

Vermiculite is a naturally-occurring mineral composed of shiny flakes resembling Mica. We produce it in different grades or sizes. When heated to high temperature, vermiculite flakes expand 8-30 times their original size (a process called exfoliation) and loses weight. We use exfoliated vermiculite in different markets namely horticultural, agricultural, construction and industry.
