Fine Particle Size Vermiculite

Where Precision Meets Performance

Fine Particle Size Vermiculite (FPSV) is a premium-grade, thermally expanded vermiculite product that has been purified and precisely processed to meet stringent specifications. Designed for consistent quality and versatility, FPSV offers valuable benefits across industries, particularly for producers of friction materials, specialty papers, and metallurgical castings.

Unique Properties of FPSV

FPSV is engineered for high performance with the following characteristics:

• Chemically Inert: Remains stable without reacting with other materials.
• Consistent Particle Size: Provides uniformity in formulations and production processes.
• Controlled Moisture Content: Ensures stability and longevity in storage and use.
• Excellent Resin Compatibility: Ensures uniform bonding in friction materials.
• Free-Flowing Powder: Facilitates easy handling and homogeneous mixing.
• High Thermal Stability: Withstands extreme temperatures without degradation.
• Large Surface Area: Enhances resin compatibility and binding properties.
• Lightweight and Insulating: Ideal for applications requiring thermal and weight management.
• Low Mohs Hardness: Soft but durable, minimizing abrasive wear on machinery.
• Platy Morphology: Enhances mechanical strength and structural integrity.

Applications of FPSV

Friction Materials

• FPSV enhances friction properties and uniformity in applications like brake pads and clutch materials.
• Reduces the proportion of high-cost fillers while improving fade resistance and recovery.

Metallurgical Castings

• Facilitates mold release, reducing defects and improving casting quality.

Specialty Papers

• Increases temperature resistance, making papers suitable for high-heat environments.
