Vermiculite Micafil Loose Fill Insulation 100ltr

Product Information

Nevertheless, it’s a naturally occuring mineral that’s exposed to heat by Dupré to ensure each chipping is around 90% air – vital for its insulating properties. It’s a versatile material, and can also be used in cavity walls, around pipework, and can even be mixed with cement for screeding. And unlike some vermiculite, it contains no asbestos. I have not yet found the specific term Gold Nugget Vermiculite as a specific vermiculite product brand name. It is also the perfect product if you have uneven joist gaps, but to be honest, even then the rolls of wool can be cut relatively easy with the Stanley knife!

Photos above (under the stereo microscope in our lab) and below (EMSL using TEM): Libby Amphibole asbestos fiber detected in our sample of Munn & Steele Zonolite™ Vermiculite insulation during tests conducted in January 2020. The samples were analyzed with a transmission electron microscope (TEM) at approximately 20,000 X magnification. Asbestos structures are identified by a combination of morphology, quantitative elemental chemistry via Energy Dispersive X- Ray Analysis (EDXA), and Selected Area Electron Diffraction (SAED).See WARNINGS BEFORE REMOVING VERMICULITE INSULATION Westroc & Gold Nugget Vermiculite Insulation - related to MicaFil?

It is made from aluminium-iron-magnesium-silicates and consists of thin, flat flakes. Also known as Micafil, it is sold in 100 litre (3.5 cubic ft) bags of lightweight chips and it is a great alternative to polystyrene chips. I would treat the insulation as presumed to contain asbestos unless or until you have a sample tested.

Micafil Vermiculite Specification:

There are three types of insulation available to the keen DIYer. Blanket insulation comes in slabs or rolls, and you simply place it between the loft joists – having emptied your loft first. Loose-fill loft insulation is arguably even easier to fit; you pour it between your loft joists. There’s no cutting required, and it can be used on its own, to fill gaps in blanket insulation, or to insulate hard-to-reach areas.
