Vermiculite is a natural mineral that is used in agriculture, horticulture and construction. It is a clay micaceous material that is formed as a result of hydrothermal treatment of volcanic rocks or shales.
One of the features of vermiculite is its ability to hydrophobically absorb water 300 percent of its weight and the ability to absorb water several times its own weight. This allows the use of vermiculite as a drainage material, as well as as a means to retain moisture in the soil.
Vermiculite has all the properties of mica, namely, it is a good electrical, heat and sound insulation. Vermiculite does not support gorenje and does not melt to a temperature of 1200 ° C, and therefore it is used as a filler of building slabs designed to ensure fire safety.
In addition, vermiculite has thermal insulation properties, which makes it useful for use in construction. It can also be used as an additive to the soil to improve its structure and nutritional properties for plants.
Vermiculite is considered a safe material for use, does not contain harmful chemicals and has no smell.

Due to the following advantages, vermiculite is widely popular in the field of agriculture: - the content of trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, aluminum, iron; - - has a high coefficient of water absorption - 400-530% - easily absorbs moisture and also easily gives it to the plant, creating an optimally moist environment for root nutrition
Improves feed productivity; - Prolongs the cycle of peak productivity and egg quality; - Used as a bedding material; - Increases the volume of the stomach of cattle; - Animals and birds are comfortable on a vermiculite litter, which affects health, weight and production efficiency.
Vermiculite is part of some ready-made soil mixtures for home floriculture, which are sold through a chain of stores. Using vermiculite in packages that indicate how and in what quantities to use it, it is possible to prepare soil mixtures at home and exactly those that are necessary for a particular plant
In the automotive industry, such properties of expanded vermiculite as strength, resistance to high temperatures and fire resistance have come in handy.
