supplied to the demanding specifications required in today’s marketplace.
Numerous industries are supplied with Vermiculite for a multitude of different
applications, Dupré Minerals recognises this and specialises in unique
development projects with customers.
We are also responsive to the grading
and different packaging requirements of all these industries.
PACKAGING
Vermiculite is widely used as a packaging medium. Not only is it lightweight,
clean and easily poured around irregular shaped objects, it also acts as a baffle
against shocks caused by impact and improper handling. Being highly
absorbent, it safely retains leaks from packed materials such as hazardous
liquids. As an inorganic mineral, it does not present any fire hazard
INSULATION
Exfoliated Vermiculite is well established as an excellent thermal insulating
material capable of withstanding temperatures in excess of 1000°C. The freeflowing properties of loose-fill Vermiculite make installation very simple in
applications such as loft insulation. The insulating properties of Vermiculite
significantly reduce the loss of heat in cold weather and keep the interior cool
in hot weather. Vermiculite is clean to handle, nonabrasive, sound absorbent,
resistant to decay, odourless and non-irritant.
HORTICULTURE
Medium Grade Vermiculite will dramatically improve drainage when added to
heavy soils. Fine Grade combined with peat forms excellent seed growing
compost. When Vermiculite is used with fertilizers, it makes them more
efficient, releasing more nutrients and therefore making them more
economical.
FRICTION

for many years, producing demanding minerals including Vermiculite to the

specifications required by the world’s leading friction companies and are
