How MicroLite is Produced
MicroLite is the chemical exfoliation of vermiculite. It is available as both a free-flowing dry powder and as aqueous colloidal dispersions.
Free-Flowing Dry Powder
MicroLite powder consists of inorganic, high aspect ratio vermiculite platelets formed by the chemical exfoliation of vermiculite.
Formulated Dispersions
The formulated dispersions possess most of the same benefits outlined by the standard dispersions, and also include additives to enhance performance in areas such as adhesion, flexibility, and/or color and dyeability.
Dispersions
The products are highly heat-and flame-resistant and produce virtually no off-gassing or smoke. In addition, these products are salt-free, and therefore are ideal for use in end products where corrosion is a concern.
