Raw Vermiculite Ore for Fireproof Material/Metallurgy/Oil/Spices Processing
Vermiculite flake is the name of vermiculite raw ore, and is the general name of unexpanded vermiculite. After the vermiculite is mined, the impurities are removed, and the appearance is flaky, so it is called vermiculite flakes, also called raw vermiculite, vermiculite raw ore, raw vermiculite, unexpanded vermiculite, unfoamed vermiculite . The name of the vermiculite flake mineral comes from Latin, with the meaning of "worm-like" and "worm-like". When the vermiculite sheet is heated to 800 degrees, it expands and deforms. During the expansion process, the vermiculite is bent and deformed. At this time, the vermiculite is a bit like a leech , hence the name.
1.Properties : Expansion; cation exchange and adsorption; expanded vermiculite also has good water absorption; sound insulation; heat insulation and fire resistance; frost resistance; the chemical properties of expanded vermiculite are stable. not soluble in water. The pH value is 7~8. It is non-toxic, tasteless and has no side effects.Animal husbandry: Expanded vermiculite has unique structural characteristics and surface properties, as well as non-toxic, sterile and chemically inert. It can be used as a carrier, adsorbent, fixative, and feed additive.
2.Applications :
Industrial applications : Mainly used in agriculture, environmental protection, building materials and other fields.
Other applications : as a filler added to friction materials, it can act as a reinforcing agent and a heat stabilizer. Brake pads made of vermiculite have good heat resistance, shear and bending strength, and good braking effect. The spice made with vermiculite as the carrier of spice oil has the characteristics of a long time for dispersing fragrance.
The use of vermiculite sheet has been widely used in construction, metallurgy, petroleum, shipbuilding, environmental protection, heat preservation, heat insulation, insulation, energy saving and other fields.
