5,Features?of?the?vermiculite?
1).?Physical?appearance
Vermiculite?refers?to?a?small?group?of?minerals?resembling?the?lamella?structure?of?the?micas.It?is?dark?gray?brown?to?golden?brown?in?color?and?flake-shaped?when?dry. When?heated?to?intense?temperatures?vermiculite?expands?in?volume?and?its?lamellae?separate,and?thus?exfoliate
2).?Moisture?retention
The?space?created?by?exfoliation?trap?moisture.Ideal?for?horticultural?applications,?vermiculite?has?the?capacity?to?retain?several?times?its?weight?in?water.
3).?Air?circulation
Vermiculite?flakes?are?irregular?in?shape?allowing?better?air?circulation?when?exfoliated,?.Widely?used?in?horticulture?to?aerate?soil?mixes?or?for?hydroponic?cultures.
4).?Low?density
Exfoliation?cause?a?great?increase?in?volume?without?an?increase?in?mass.Being?extremely?lightweight,vermiculite?is?an?ideal?material?to?lighten?aggregates?such?as?
concrete,plaster,and?asphalt,and?to?fill?walls?and?partitions?Inert?and?neutral?PH:8-11
