Dupré combines over 60 years experience with the latest production technology to formulate and manufacture the highest quality products to meet precise specifications. The processing and manufacture of Vermiculite continues to be one of our core business markets. The established Dupré brand inspired the development of some of the worlds most advanced Vermiculite product formulations. Applications for crude and exfoliated Vermiculites include insulation, friction, horticulture, construction, packaging and wherever lightweight or heat resistant properties are required. Vermiculite is a naturally occurring mineral that continues to find niche market applications where fire protection, absorption, and acoustic properties are desired. It is however the thermal insulation properties of Vermiculite that are most commonly sought and Vermiculite is an ideal user friendly option for domestic and industrial insulation solutions. The Dupré 'Micafil' brand is the market leader for insulation Vermiculite. Micafil is commonly used for a variety of building insulation applications, including internal cavity wall, loft and chimney flue liner.
