Chemical Containment
Why Vermiculite for Environmental Applications
Vermiculite's natural absorbency and chemical stability make it an effective material for environmental containment, cleanup, and remediation applications.
It is widely used in spill response, hazardous material packaging, and soil remediation projects.
Its ability to hold liquids while remaining lightweight and non-reactive makes it a reliable solution in environmentally sensitive environments.
Vermiculite is used where liquid retention, containment, and material stabilization are critical to environmental safety.

Sizes and Gradations
Different environmental applications require different particle sizes. Whittemore offers vermiculite grades designed for absorption, containment, and soil stabilization performance.
Super Fine
Typical size: 150–500 microns
Ideal for fine absorbent formulations and precision containment applications.
Fine
Typical size: ~0.5–1.5 mm
Used in absorbent formulations, soil remediation, and lightweight containment blends.
Medium
Typical size: ~1.5–3.0 mm
Versatile grade for spill absorption, soil stabilization, and environmental cleanup.
Coarse
Typical size: ~3–6 mm
Used for hazmat absorbent applications and large-volume spill response.
