Function:

Agriculture and horticulture

Soil conditioner: Vermiculite can improve soil structure, increase soil air permeability and water permeability, make soil more loose, and facilitate the growth and breathing of plant roots. At the same time, vermiculite can retain moisture in the soil and slowly release it during drought, which plays a role in retaining water and fertilizer, improving the soil's ability to retain moisture, and reducing the frequency of irrigation.

Seedling substrate: Vermiculite is an ideal seedling substrate material. It is clean, sterile, and odorless, providing a good environment for seed germination and seedling growth. Vermiculite can provide good support for the seedling roots, allowing the seedling roots to take root and grow better, which helps to improve the germination rate of seeds and the survival rate of seedlings.

Soilless cultivation: In soilless cultivation, vermiculite is often used as an important cultivation substrate. It can be used alone or mixed with other substrates such as perlite, peat soil, etc. to provide support for plants, and can maintain appropriate humidity and air permeability to meet the needs of plant growth for water, air and nutrients.

Gardening shape and preservation

Gardening shape: Vermiculite can be used to make various gardening shapes, such as soil covering for bonsai, decorative materials for flower beds, etc. Its golden or silvery appearance can add natural beauty to the gardening landscape.

Flower preservation: Vermiculite has good water retention and air permeability, and can be used to preserve flowers. Wrapping the roots of flowers with vermiculite can keep the moisture of the roots of flowers and extend the shelf life of flowers.

Construction and insulation field

Thermal insulation material: Vermiculite has a low thermal conductivity and can effectively block the transfer of heat. It can be used for exterior wall insulation, roof insulation and other parts of buildings, reduce the energy consumption of buildings, help maintain indoor temperature stability, improve energy utilization efficiency, and reduce the cost of air conditioning and heating.

Fireproof material: Vermiculite is an inorganic material with high fire resistance. It will not burn at high temperatures. It can be used to make fireproof boards, fireproof coatings and other fireproof materials to improve the fire safety performance of buildings. When a fire occurs, it can delay the spread of fire.

Sound-absorbing materials: Vermiculite can absorb and reflect sound waves, reduce the propagation of sound, and can be used in the partition walls, ceilings and other parts of buildings to effectively reduce indoor and outdoor noise interference, creating a quiet and comfortable living and working environment for people.

Industrial field

Adsorbent: Vermiculite has a large specific surface area and strong adsorption performance. It can adsorb pollutants such as heavy metal ions and organic matter in water. It can be used in industrial wastewater treatment to help purify water quality. In waste gas treatment, vermiculite can also adsorb harmful gases in waste gas and play a role in purifying the air.

Friction materials: After special treatment, vermiculite can be used as an additive or reinforcing material for friction materials. It is used to manufacture friction products such as brake pads and clutch plates. It can improve the wear resistance, heat resistance and stability of friction materials, and ensure the performance and safety of friction products during use.

Sealing materials: Vermiculite has certain flexibility and sealing performance. It can be made into sealing materials such as sealing gaskets and sealing tapes. It is used for sealing industrial equipment, pipelines, etc. to prevent gas and liquid leakage and ensure the normal operation of industrial production.

Paint additives: Adding vermiculite to paint can improve the water resistance, corrosion resistance and fire resistance of the paint, while also increasing the texture and decorative effect of the paint, giving the paint better performance and appearance.

Other fields

Animal bedding: Vermiculite can be used as animal bedding, such as for pet breeding, poultry farming, etc. It has good water absorption and air permeability, can keep the animal living environment dry and clean, reduce odor, and provide a comfortable living space for animals.

Medical field: After special treatment, vermiculite can be used in the medical field, such as as a drug carrier, adsorbent, etc. It can absorb impurities in drugs and improve the purity of drugs. It can also be used as a sustained-release material to slowly release drugs in the body and prolong the drug's action time.
