Key Features
- Vermiculite is suitable as a cushioning and absorbent material in packaging for liquid hazardous goods, oils, fuels, chemicals, acids, alkalis, solutions, etc.
- As a light, compressible bulk material, vermiculite has a shock-absorbing effect. It is an ideal packaging aid for hazardous liquids as well as for impact-sensitive goods.
- Absorbent binder for aggressive chemicals and solvents
- Ideal for collecting battery acid in used battery collectors at the disposal site.
- No danger of silicosis
- Non-combustible, building material class A1 according to DIN 4102
- Suitable for acetone, acetaldehyde, aniline, petrol, benzoyl chloride, drilling fluid, chlorobenzene, chloroform, chlorosulfonic acid, chromosulphuric acid, diesel, ethanol, acetic acid, fixing bath, heating oil, aqua regia, n-heptane, caustic soda, nitro thinner, m-cresol, perchloric acid, perchloroethylene, propionitrile, pyridine, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, toluene, triethanolamine, hydrogen peroxide
- Absorbency of vermiculite for water (based on dry weight): approx. 370 %
- Ideal packaging aid for both hazardous liquids and goods at risk of impact.
- VOC-free
Benefits
- Shock-absorbing effect for safe packaging
- Ideal for hazardous liquids and impact-sensitive goods
- No risk of silicosis
