What is Vermiculite?

8

“Hydrated Magnesium Aluminium Silicate”

Naturally occurring laminar mineral, a product of weathering of ‘phlogopite’ and only occurs to a depth of 40-50m below surface

Page 9: AFRICAN-FOCUSEDgulfindustrials.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Indaba-Presentat… · November 2008. Mr. Kernaghan was appointed company secretary on 30 June 2005. Mike Brook BSc

Unique Properties - Exfoliation

9

When heated above 800ᴼC the interlayer moisture is transformed into steam. The pressure forces the silicate layers apart and the flake forms an elongated concertina-like particle up to 20 times its original thickness.

Bulk density: 640-1120kg/m3

Namekara vs. World Market

• World demand: 650-800ktpa (Roskill, Dupre)

• World production: ~500,000tpa (Roskill)

• Shortfall: 300ktpa (Dupre)

Consumption dictated by supply

• Market recognises 6 size fractions: Premium, Large, Medium, Fine, Superfine & Micron

• But limited supply of larger fractions = premium prices

• The coarse component of Namekara is almost 30% and it has the capacity to dominate world production in the larger, higher priced, end of the market
