Versatile loose fill offering great insulation and protection
Vermiculite Loose Fill protects goods in transit by flowing into small gaps around products to cushion, insulate and absorb leaks. Made from mineral-based, non-toxic natural vermiculite, this lightweight, fibre-free loose fill suits export packaging, liquid packaging and hazardous goods protection where absorbency and fireproof performance matter.
Supplied in a 100 litre bag for practical packing station use. Sold and priced per bag.
Where does Vermiculite Loose Fill work best?
Vermiculite loose fill suits packing operations that need lightweight void fill, absorbency and protection for goods in transit, including export consignments and hazardous goods packaging.
- Packaging liquids where leakage risk matters, as the mineral-based fill absorbs spills and helps contain escaped fluid inside the outer pack.
- Export packing where insulation and cushioning are required, as it flows into small gaps around the contents for close coverage.
- Hazardous goods packaging where a non-toxic, fireproof loose fill is needed as part of the packing process.
- Multi-purpose site use beyond despatch areas, including loft insulation, soilless growing environments, filtering waste water and absorbing hazardous liquids for disposal.
Not for
- Fast e-commerce packing lines that need clean, general-purpose void fill around non-liquid items. Choose void fill when you need recyclable paper cushioning for standard parcels.
- Items that need a fixed, surface-hugging wrap rather than free-flowing loose fill. Choose bubble wrap when you need cushioning directly around fragile products.
- Packs where you need a moulded or pre-cut insert to hold the product in one position. Choose packaging foam when product retention matters more than loose void filling.
