At temperatures below 150°C, vermiculite does not expand. As the kiln temperature reaches 800°C to 1000°C, interlayer water turns into water vapor, causing rapid expansion of vermiculite to 8-10 times its original size. This expansion process lasts only 5-30 seconds, with higher purity vermiculite expanding more quickly. 6. Cooling …
