VIC - Vermiculite Insulating Cement

VITCAS Vermiculite Insulating Cement - Lightweight, High-Performance Insulation

VITCAS Vermiculite Insulating Cement is a lightweight insulation cement formulated with exfoliated vermiculite ultra-lightweight aggregate. This product offers exceptional insulation properties, being approximately 20% of the weight of traditional cement mixes. A 25mm layer of this material provides the same insulation value as 500mm of standard cement, making it an efficient choice for thermal insulation in a variety of applications.

Key Characteristics

• Non-Combustible: Complies with building regulations for fire safety, making it suitable for use in fire-related installations.
• High Insulation Efficiency: Provides superior thermal insulation with minimal material thickness.
• Lightweight: Ideal for applications requiring low-density, high-insulation materials that are non-combustible.

Applications

• Filling gaps between firebacks and fireplaces, improving thermal efficiency.
• Sealing behind Victorian-style cast-iron fireplaces, offering insulation and fire protection.
• Sealing gaps in outdoor pizza ovens, enhancing heat retention for improved cooking performance.

Important Notes:

• Not for structural applications or areas where abrasion resistance is needed.
• Must be protected from water ingress, as insulating materials like this are not designed to withstand moisture.
