Protect Your Family from Asbestos-Contaminated Vermiculite Insulation: Fact Sheet

 
 Volume/Number:  2009 June 
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  Vermiculite is a naturally-occurring mineral composed of shiny flakes, resembling mica. When heated to a high temperature, flakes of vermiculite expand as much as 8-30 times their original size. The expanded vermiculite is a light-weight, fire-resistant, and odorless material and has been used in numerous products, including insulation for attics and walls. Sizes of vermiculite products range from very fine particles to large (coarse) pieces nearly an inch long.
