Vermiculite V2 Fine

Applications	Lightweight screeds, horticultural applications, loose pour aggregate, refractory and fireproofing compounds, chimney lining, acoustics, bonded shapes and castables.
Chemical Properties	Vermiculite V2 is an aluminium iron silicate. Typical composition is: Silicon (SiO2) 37 - 40% Magnesium (MgO) 21 - 29% Aluminium (Al2O3) 6 - 10% Iron (Fe2O3) 4 - 8% Potassium (K2O) 3 - 6% Calcium (CaO) 1 - 4% Carbon (CO2) 1 - 2% Titanium (TiO2) 0.5 - 1% Floride (F) 0.1 - 0.75% Chromic Oxide (CrO3) 0.05 - 0.15% Phosphorus Pentoxide (P2O5) 0.01 - 0.90% pH* 7 - 10 Organic Matter Nil * pH 7-10, but owing to the presence of associated carbonate rock impurities the reaction is normally alkaline.
Physical Properties	Exfoliated Vermiculite V2 is golden brown granule in plate-like layers of a concertina appearance. Sintering Temperature 1200 -1260oC Melting Point 1330oC Specific Heat 1.08 Kj/kgK Thermal Condcuctivity at normal atmospheric temperature K = 0.062 - 0.065 w/mc
Grading Specifications	The bulk density is 80-100 kg/m3 at the bagging head. However, a 10-15% increase in density should be allowed for in normal storage, handling and transport. Grading Specification - % by weight passing 2.36 90 - 100 1.70 35 - 70 1.20 10 - 25 600 micron 0 - 10
Packaging	Vermiculite V2 is normally supplied in plastic sacks containing 100 litres (approximately 3.5ft3). Alternative packaging is available to order.
Health and Safety	Exfoliated Vermiculite V2 is a heat-processed, inorganic material and since no chemical changes occur it is considered non-reportable. It is also fibre-free, conpletely non-irritant, an inert, incombustible, non-abrasive, rot-proof, odouless, clean to handle and without the slighest danger to face of hands. However, as with all fine materials, inhalation of dust should be avoided.
