Exfoliation occurs when the mineral is heated sufficiently, and the effect is routinely produced in commercial furnaces. Vermiculite is formed by weathering or hydrothermal alteration of biotite or phlogopite.large commercial vermiculite mines currently exist in russia, south africa, china, and brazil.today spray-applied fireproofing materials use vermiculite, other industrial minerals, and expanded polystyrene, depending upon the exact commercial product. The ingredients for these products all have to meet stringent regulatory requirements, particularly in the us and europe. In the past, vermiculite from the wr grace mines in montana, have been associated with asbestos.
