Hoben International Ltd Vermiculite insulation materials house insulation refractory industrial casting. Founded in the 1950’s, Hoben International is one of the leading manufacturers of refractory and insulation materials in Europe today. Vermiculite is the geological name given to a group of hydrated laminar materials which are aluminium-iron-magnesium silicates that resemble mica in appearance. Vermiculite consists of thin, flat flakes containing microscopic particles of water. On being subjected to high temperatures, the flakes expand to many times their original volume, giving Vermiculite its unique properties of high insulation values and light weight. Vermiculite is exfoliated (expanded) at Hoben International and is supplied to the demanding specifications required in today’s marketplace. Vermiculite is supplied to many different industries and used for a multitude of different applications, Hoben International recognises this and specialises in unique development projects with customers. Insulation Expanded Vermiculite is well established as an excellent thermal insulating material capable of withstanding temperatures in excess of 1000°C. The free flowing properties of loose-fill Vermiculite make installation very simple in applications such as loft insulation. The insulating properties of Vermiculite significantly reduce the loss of heat in cold weather and keep the interior cool in hot weather. Vermiculite is clean to handle, non-abrasive, sound absorbent, resistant to decay, odourless and non-irritant. Packaging Vermiculite is widely used as a packaging medium. Not only is it lightweight, clean and easily poured around irregular shaped objects, it also acts as a baffle against shocks caused by impact and improper handling. Being highly absorbent, it safely retains leaks from packed materials such as hazardous liquids. As an inorganic mineral, it does not present any fire hazard. Horticultural Hoben International has been one of the leading suppliers to the friction industry for many years, producing demanding minerals including Vermiculite to the highest specification. Hoben International recognises the unique demands and specifications required by the world’s leading friction companies and is constantly carrying out research and development into new and innovative products Friction Medium Grade Vermiculite will dramatically improve drainage when added to heavy soils. Fine Grade combined with peat forms an excellent seed-growing compost. When Vermiculite is used with fertilisers, it makes them more efficient, releasing more nutrients and therefore making them more economical
