Packing Materials

Exfoliated vermiculite is a useful packaging medium. Not only is it lightweight, clean and easily poured around irregular shaped objects, it also provides good protection against shocks caused by impact and improper handling.

Being highly absorbent, it safely retains leaks from packed materials such as hazardous chemicals. As it is inorganic, it does not present any potential fire hazards.

Exfoliated vermiculite can also be used as a packing material for storing fruit, bulbs and tubers. Being soft and non-abrasive, it has also been used effectively for insulation and cushioning the base of plastic-lined swimming pools.
