About Vermiculite
Vermiculite is a hydrated phyllosilicate mineral derived from mica, valued for its exceptional thermal insulation, fire resistance, and absorption properties. Primary industrial applications include insulation materials for construction, refractory products, horticultural growing media, and flame-retardant additives. Internationally traded grades range from crude ore to exfoliated (expanded) vermiculite in various particle size classifications. South Africa dominates global production, followed by Brazil, China, and the United States. Buyers should verify exfoliation quality and bulk density specifications, as these directly impact thermal performance and application suitability; improperly expanded material significantly reduces effectiveness and market value.
