Vermiculite -
the raw material for our fire protection boards

With vermiculite, we offer you the "one-for-all" solution in the field of fire protection and high-temperature thermal lagging.

In a hot compression process specifically developed for our products, expanded vermiculite is compressed to form large boards

Vermiculite boards are extremely easy to handle and process. They can be easily machined in a low-dust process, and hence are ideally suited for dry construction. Vermiculite can be readily cut and processed with any wood-working tool. Any residual material can be composted.

Moreover, properties like its low weight and ease of machining are of significance if used for dry construction boards.

Vermiculite boards are resistant to fungi and bacteria (VDI 6022) and suitable for use in air-conditioning systems (AC systems).

Vermiculite is a natural mineral obtained from open cast mines, and belongs to the group of three-layer silicates closely related mineralogically to the better-known mica.

The special feature of this mineral is its ability to give off absorbed intermediate layer water if a temperature of about 1000 °C is applied, while the volume increases greatly by 15 to 20 times.

Due to the high temperature the material is sterilised, i.e. it is made germ-free. So-called expanded vermiculite is a straw-coloured, free-flowing bulk material with a low volume weight.
