Description Exfoliated vermiculite is a natural, mined mineral made from a process of heating that breaks apart, or exfoliates, the original, rock-like vermiculite. The exfoliation removes the outer, tougher layers of the rock and leaves behind the more porous and flaky, lighter-weight material. This material is used as an additive to potting soil, and as an insulating material in the lining of greenhouses. The common uses of foamed slag are in the production of fine aggregate, foundry sand, and as lightweight aggregate
