Course Grade Vermiculite
Coarse-grade vermiculite is a versatile material widely used for both spill absorption and horticultural applications. Its lightweight, highly porous structure allows it to rapidly absorb and retain liquids, making it an effective solution for containing spills involving oils, fuels, solvents, and water-based fluids. The coarse particle size helps prevent liquid migration, allowing for easier containment and cleanup.
Vermiculite is non-combustible, chemically inert, and non-toxic, making it suitable for industrial, commercial, and environmental spill response. It does not react with most chemicals and can be safely used with a wide range of substances. Once saturated, it can be easily collected and disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations.
In addition to spill control, coarse-grade vermiculite is commonly used in gardening and horticulture. It improves soil aeration and structure while enhancing moisture retention, helping plants maintain consistent hydration. Vermiculite also aids in nutrient retention, making fertilizers more effective and supporting healthy root development. It is frequently used in seed starting mixes, potting soils, and as a soil amendment for improved plant growth.
