Product Description
--Expanded Vermiculite Detail :
Vermiculite is a natural mineral from the group of micas, formed mainly by silicates of iron and magnesium. Extraction takes place in open pit mines and is then processed to separate rocks and impurities. The mineral is classified by size and subjected to a heat treatment, known as exfoliation, which allows the mineral to expand. This exfoliation capacity reaches up to 12 times its original volume.
Exfoliated Vermiculite is light, clean and has a high thermal and acoustic insulation value. In addition, it is fireproof, insoluble in water and has the ability to absorb liquids.
---Expanded Vermiculite Application:
Exfoliated Vermiculite has a wide variety of applications, among which are:
Industry:
- Creation of mortars and refractory elements.
- Passive fire protection and mortar manufacturing.
- In the iron and steel industry, as padding for liquid metals.
Agriculture:
- Excellent for covering seedling trays, maintaining the temperature and humidity of the seed.
- As a substrate, it can be mixed with organic substrates, providing a differentiated aeration capacity.
- In animal nutrition, it is used to load a wide variety of nutrients, fatty acids, vitamins and antibiotics in the preparation of animal feed additives.
Construction:
- Basic ingredient in the production of lightweight projection plasters.
- Creation of vermiculite boards or plates, which provide fire resistance, insulation and thermal stability.
This versatility makes Exfoliated Vermiculite an essential product for numerous industries.

--Golden Expanded Vermiculite usege :
- Add vermiculite to soil for conditioning and lightening either alone or in conjunction with peat or compost. This will accelerate the growth and promote anchorage for tender young root systems.
- Using vermiculite as growing medium will also enable the plant to more easily absorb the ammonium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium necessary for vigorous growth.
- Medium grade vermiculite can be used directly for root cuttings. Just water thoroughly and insert the cutting up to the node.
- Use vermiculite alone or mixed with soil or peat for seed germination. This will allow seeds to germinate more rapidly. If vermiculite is used without soil, feed the seedlings a weak fertilizer solution of 1 tablespoon (15 mL.) of soluble fertilizer per 1 gallon (4 L.) of water once the first leaves appear. Damping off is thwarted since vermiculite is sterile and the seedlings are easily removed without damage to the roots.
- Vermiculite mixed half and half with soil, peat, or compost eliminates packed down soil in flower pots and houseplant containers while allowing excellent aeration, reducing watering frequency and allowing root spread.
- To transplant using vermiculite, dig a hole 6 inches (15 cm.) larger than the plants roots. Fill in with a mix of vermiculite and the removed topsoil. Again, this allows for root spread, provides moisture control, and protects the roots from drying out due to sun or wind. 3 inches (8 cm.) of vermiculite can also be used as mulch around shrubs and other garden plants like roses, dahlias, and tomatoes.
- Place bulbs or root crops in a container and pour the vermiculite around them. The sponge-like quality of the vermiculite will absorb any excess moisture and prevent rot or mildew while protecting them from temperature fluxes.
