vermiculite
A hydrated silicate mineral which expands on heating; it is used in insulation and as a medium for planting
{i} any of various hydrated silica minerals which expand into worm-like shapes when exposed to heat and are used for heat insulation and as medium for plant growing
a natural mineral which expands with the application of heat. It is formed by hydration of certain basaltic minerals; often found in association with asbestos
A highly charged, averages about 159 cmolckg-1 for soil vermiculites but has a very wide range, layer silicate of the 2: 1 type that is formed from mica It is characterized by adsorption preference for potassium, ammonium, and cesium over smaller exchange cations It may be di- or trioctahedral See also Appendix I, Table A3
An aggregate used in lightweight insulating concrete, formed by the heating and consequent expansion of a micaceous mineral
One off a group of micaceous hydrated silicate minerals related to the chlorites and used in lightweight insulating concrete
A mineral closely related to mica, with the faculty of expanding on heating to form lightweight material with insulation quality Used as bulk insulation and also as aggregate in insulating and acoustical plaster and in insulating concrete floors
an aggregate used in lightweight insulation concrete
A spongy soil conditioner often used to lighten clay soils It may also be used as a propagating conditioner
An insulating material to prevent glass from cooling too quickly, prior to annealing
So called because the scales, when heated, open out into wormlike forms
Vermiculite is made from expanded mica, a mineral Vermiculite used as insulation is identical to the material found in garden centers Like perlite, it is generally no longer used for insulation, although again, it can still be found in existing houses
A light-weight, mineral called mica that is added to potting mixtures to improve root growth via aeration and has moisture retaining abilities
an aggregate used in lightweight insulating concrete, formed by the heating and consequent expansion of a micaceous material
A mineral used as bulk insulation and also as aggregate in insulating and acoustical plaster and in insulating concrete floors
Light, mica-like mineral added to potting compost to improve aeration and moisture retention
A lightweight aggregate closely related to mica, used as a loose fill insulation and also in some types of plaster work and concrete work for its insulating qualities
A hydrous silicate of magnesium or iron which is expanded by heating to produce a lightweight fire resistant insulation
They are hydrous silicates, derived generally from the alteration of some kind of mica
A mineral from the mica family which can be used as a heat insulator or mulch for plants
