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.
