Vermiculite

Vermiculite is a silicate mineral obtained from volcanic magma sources.Vermiculitis in nature; There are four types of soil, orogenic, metamorphic and macroscopic, depending on the formation and environment. Vermiculite is fire resistant and has heat and sound insulation properties. It is light, compressible, has high liquid absorption capacity, has thermal insulation property, it has high anion - cation exchange property, high air capacity, it is sterile, Ph is in the range of 6 - 9.

When vermiculite is exposed to high heat, volume expands, permeability increases and volumetric weight drops significantly.At the end of the process, an expanded vermiculite is obtained which is light, sterile, dry, liquids with fast sucking and slow release (absorbe) capacity.
The expanded vermiculite is used as an absorbent in some chemical processes because it is an active, broad chemical surface that can enter the reaction. Vermiculite is evaluated as an additive material in paint, plastic and other materials when finely ground in powder size.

Expanded Vermiculite has a very important contribution to the growth of organic products without disturbing the natural structure of the soil as it has the ability to ventilate the plant roots in the horticultural field and to cut roots for maximumgrowth and to provide nematodes and nutrients to feed the seeds as it has a superior ability in soil ventilation.

Key Benefits of Product

The presence of vermiculite particles in the fertilizer helps ventilation and contributes to the growth of retention nematode and potassium, magnesium and other small elements while the added fertilizers are released. In the vermiculite / peat and coconut shell grains, the air / water ratio provides the ideal stimulation for root growth and, together with it, helps to produce younger plants that are healthier. Vermiculite is sterile when processed. If stored properly, no other application is required when mixing into the fertilizer. Vermiculite can also be used as a storage and extender for fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. It can also be used as powder for germinated seeds.

With our "TurkPerlite" brand, we produce and export vermiculite products for agricultural and horticultural purpose, also automotive, chemical packaging, construction, fire protection, insulation.. etc.
