Vermiculite is a hydrous, silicate mineral that expands greatly when heated. Exfoliation occurs when the mineral is heated sufficiently, and the effect is routinely produced in commercial furnaces.

ABTEC Exfoliated Vermiculite is mainly used for making soil - less hydroponic medium for plant growth. For this take 1 part ABTEC Exfoliated Vermiculite, 1 part Perlite and 3 parts Coirpith compost and mix together. ABTEC Exfoliated Vermiculite can also be added to soil to increase the aeration and water holding capacity of soil.
