Vermiculite - Micafil 100L pack

Vermiculite Micafil is as an excellent thermal insulating material capable of withstanding temperatures in excess of 1000C. Its nominal particle size is between 2 -15mm. Vermiculite Micafil with its free flowing properties of loose-fill, make it an excellent insulation for lofts. Micafil significantly reduces the loss of heat in cold weather and keep the interior cool in hot weather. Vermiculite is a group of hydrated laminar minerals -- aluminium-iron-magnesium silicates that resembles mica in appearance. These thin, flat flakes are subjected to high temperatures (700C to 1000C), and the vermiculite flakes will expand to many times their original size due to the microscopic layers of water within them turning to steam and forcing the laminar layers apart (exfoliation). The exfoliated vermiculite becomes granules containing microscopic air layers, which makes vermiculite lightweight and gives it excellent insulation properties. Vermiculite Micafil is clean to handle, nonabrasive, sound absorbent, resistant to decay, odourless and non-irritant.
