    Vermiculite is an entirely and naturally occurring mineral, similar to mica, that is sold both in its natural state and by exfoliating the core. Exfoliation is the term used to describe the expanding process raw vermiculite goes through under extreme heat, rendering the material naturally layered, perfectly suited for trapping air and moisture. It does not create any waste byproducts during processing and is inert, non-toxic, fire resistant and is capable of holding many times its weight in water. It has a wide range of uses in the horticulture industry as well as a variety of industrial applications from insulation to filler in the plastics industry. Normiska is in the process of expanding its markets as well as working towards several new applications for our products Normiska VIL currently imports vermiculite ore from the Transvaal Region of South Africa and expands the ore in high temperature furnaces at its site in Lachine, Quebec. Additional information on vermiculite is available at: the Vermiculite Association and the American Vermiculite Corporation.
