#Vermiculite in India

Vermiculite   is a hydrated   laminar minerals resembling   micaceous   in appearance . It undergoes significant expansion when heated.   Exfoliation   occurs when the mineral is heated sufficiently, and the effect is routinely produced in commercial furnaces . Vermiculite is a safe inert material and is light in colour. vermiculite mines  Moulded shapes: this process involves mixing exfoliated vermiculite with inorganic bonding agents such as silicates and  to produce an 'earth damp' mixture. The moulded shapes and boards are used in: Open fireplaces High-temperature or refractory insulation Acoustic panels Fireproofing of structural steel  and pipes      vermiculite factory    Calcium silicate boards: exfoliated vermiculite is added to a calcium silicate slurry. This is then dewatered by pressing and processes to form a flat board which ...

Precast Lightweight concrete

L itagg - Lightweight Aggregates  Precast Lightweight concrete products make a significant contribution to building & construction industry , they range from small hydraulically pressed items mass produced in highly automated factories, such as concrete bricks, paving and roof tiles, to larger mass produced items such as pipes, piles and floor beams, and  structural units manufactured to specific engineering and architectural requirements. The materials that are used to make precast concrete products come from natural and recycled sources, mainly inorganic. Most of these materials are subject to minimal processing or chemical treatments to render them suitable for use, which results in concrete having a relatively low embodied energy value, unlike highly processed materials such as plastics. Precast concrete products are locally sourced. Most of the INDIA needs for precast products can be met locally, so there is n...
