Vermiculite
yes it is
Hydrofluoric acid is highly reactive and can react violently with vermiculite, which may result in a hazardous situation, including release of toxic gases. Vermiculite is not a suitable absorbent material for hydrofluoric acid as it may not effectively contain or neutralize the acid. Using more appropriate absorbents like calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide is recommended for lab packing hydrofluoric acid.

Vermiculite is a hydrated phyllosilicate mineral that is part of the mica group. Its chemical formula is typically represented as Mg3Si4O10(OH)2·4H2O, indicating it contains magnesium, silicon, oxygen, and hydroxyl groups, along with water molecules. This structure allows vermiculite to expand when heated, making it useful in various applications such as insulation, gardening, and as a soil amendment.

Yes, vermiculite is generally considered insect resistant due to its mineral composition and structure, which do not provide a suitable habitat for most pests. Additionally, it does not have organic matter that could attract insects. However, it's important to ensure that vermiculite is stored and used properly to prevent contamination from external sources.
No. But in gardening uses there is a difference. Perlite provides better drainage than Vermiculite,and Vermiculite holds water better. I personally prefer rough sand.
Vermiculite is a natural mineral that is found in various parts of the world, including countries like the United States, South Africa, China, Brazil, and Russia. It forms from the weathering of certain minerals like biotite and phlogopite.
is vermiculite suitable for cavity wall insulation
Yes; Vermiculite, Perlite and Leca all float in water, thanks to their porosity.
