Exfoliated vermiculite is easily poured around irregularly shaped objects and provides a cushion against shock during handling and transportation, often in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
When it comes to safety, no risks should be taken, and vermiculite is a safety necessity when packaging hazardous materials.
It provides a cushion and is absorbent—essential for shipping the hazardous liquids. The benefits of vermiculite Lab Packs include:
It is lightweight, minimizing shipping costs, and is also clean and non-abrasive
Impact-resistance:Its free-flowing property makes for quick, easy coverage. This tight coverage minimizes impact and shock.
Naturally absorbent material: Because it is absorbent, it can safely retain accident leaks.
Fireproof: It is non-flammable and does not emit fumes or odors.
Non-Reactive and inorganic
Vermiculite is a naturally occurring and completely inert mineral, eliminating problems that occur in other forms of packaging materials. It will not react with most common chemicals, ensuring possible leaks will be contained and safe during transport. When properly packed, vermiculite lab-packs will safely hold chemical liquids up to 20 gallons (in a 55-gallon drum).
More finely graded vermiculite is mainly used in the friction coatings for the automotive sector.
Vermiculite is used because of its thermal resistance, shape, surface properties and ease of addition to other raw materials to obtain a homogeneous mixture.
AutomotiveFPSV (Fine Particulate Sized Vermiculite) and other finer grades of exfoliated vermiculite are used in friction linings for the automotive market.
Vermiculite is used for this application because of its:
Thermal resistance
Shape
Surface characteristics
Easy of addition to other raw materials
Acoustic absorption
While vermiculite has a similar structure to exfoliated graphite, it does not oxidize and is therefore very appropriate for automotive applications, including:
Brake linings
Clutch discs
Rubber seals
Automotive paints and lacquers
Vermiculite packaging films are essential in numerous industries, and many consumers come in contact with a product enhanced with them every day.
Most often, this contact is in their kitchen, as vermiculite packaging films are frequently used as one of many layers of food packaging for a fresher product. It works because the vermiculite layer is electrically charged to keep oxygen from getting inside the bag. The dispersed platelets in this very thin layer create an impassable path for gas molecules.
Benefits of Vermiculite Packaging Films
Performance
It is a significantly better gas barrier compared to competing clear barrier materials, like polyvinylidene chloride (PVdC) and ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH).
Longevity
When compared to other barrier methods, it has better moisture resistance and is not prone to flex-cracking. Plus, it is not corrosive.
Size variety
Vermiculite can be applied at different thicknesses to create different levels of gas barriers. This enables to it meet requirements of many packaging application.
Cost savings
Vermiculite packaging fills tend to be less expensive than alternative methods.
Environmental benefits
Vermiculite packaging provides better gas barriers with less material than other barrier methods. Plus, the coatings dissolve in landfills and do not inhibit the biodegradability of compostable packaging.
