• Used in-ground swimming pools to provide a smooth pool base
• Light-weight insulative concrete

One of the areas of expanded vermiculite is agriculture. In this case, the use of vermiculite due to its porous structure significantly improves the aeration of soil properties and prevents rotting plants germinate.

The presence of oxides of various metals (magnesium, potassium, aluminum and iron), which makes it ideal biostimulant plant growth.

Its high water absorption (up to 500%), which allows you to keep an optimum soil moisture regime, even in conditions of prolonged drought.

Vermiculite is also used for storage of fruits and vegetables (Tomato, Chili, flower,potatoes, carrots, apples, pears, etc.) and landscape design.

According to the results of field tests established that the use of vermiculite allows you to:

 

• Improve the structure of both light and heavy soils
• Create the optimal air-water regime of soils
• Significantly stimulate the growth of plants
• Reduce the acidity and salinity in the 8-14%
• Increase the efficiency of fertilizers;
• Reduce root rot
• Increase safety and productivity of crops by 10-17%.

Vermiculite is a hydrous phyllosilicate mineral that expands significantly when heated. This expansion, also known as exfoliation, results in a lightweight, fire-resistant, and absorbent material with various applications.
