Vermiculite

Refractory Vermiculite

Vermiculite fibre is a natural insulating material derived from a mineral called vermiculite.
When subjected to a thermal expansion process, vermiculite transforms into tiny, light, porous flakes, forming a fibre with exceptional insulating properties.
Vermiculite fibre is a versatile, high-performance material, ideal for all applications requiring excellent thermal insulation and resistance to high temperatures.
